· weird Travels in a circular geometry Cura 5.1
All those islands make it a tough part. Setting the Z seam to the center of the part (midpoint of the bed in this case) and enabling Z Seam Relative and then setting the layer start and end points to the same position helps.
There are 4 travel moves across the center and with retraction turned off there will be strings. There will be strings between all the islands as well.

thanks for the insight and sorry for the late reply, Ive been experimenting with the surface mode and Ive been developing a new workaround at these kind of geometries where you need to have better control on the seams. Here is an example I did for a tubular geometry.
and this is the surface geometry I've been developing with the help of Rhino and Grasshopper
in addition to this (in my case) I realized that I needed to lower the print speed about 20 m/s and the layer height about 0.2mm , since the built up pression in higher amounts produces an over extrusion of material at the end of each layer since the transition between layers is not fast enough in my case and with my printer,( I don't know about other printers.)
I hope this information can help some of you who wants more control in the path of your prints.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
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.

Here is my effort.
