As I understand it, sprialize *only* works properly for an object where every slice is a single closed polygon. So this works great for vases and cups. Also it will only do a single pass on this polygon wall so if you ask for a .8mm wide wall and you have a .4mm nozzle it will be basically extruding at 200% flow. Also it will not print a top.
The part you show here - if you slice it is more like to curve segments that don't meet. It is nothing like a polygon.
Another rule of thumb: spiralize and retraction should never occur on the same part.
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
