So I am at a loss to find out what these lines are.  They only appear in this model and I just can't seem to find an answer.  

 

The Blue / Purple lines just above the support lines.

    It's under Support | Enable Support Interface.  What you have there is the Roof interface enabled.  It looks to be 1mm thick and is likely set to Grid.

    I usually allow a space of 1 layer between the top of the interface and the first real layer above so they don't bond together so well.  That setting is Support Z Distance.  Another important one is the density of the interface.  I run that from 25% to 60% dependent on the model.  If the interface is too dense there will be millions of retractions.  If it is too sparse for the model the first real layer can sag between the lines of the interface.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
