Spiralize will do the outer wall of the model and vary the Z in increments until it comes around to the "Layer Start". At that point it will be one layer height above the previous Layer Start and it just keeps moving.
EXCEPT it does print the bottom of the model in a conventional way using the Bottom Layers setting and doesn't start to spiralize until it gets above that. I would expect to see typical gcode (like what you have) up till Bottom Layers +1 where the speed will drop and the number of gcode lines with a Z move goes way up and is incremental as the head moves around the periphery.
So if you want to spiralize right from the get-go then set Bottom Layers to zero.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
