Cura creating seams in infill under overhead structure

· Cura creating seams in infill under overhead structure
I'm guessing it's the way it was modeled. What CAD software did you use?
The horseshoe shape appears to have been placed resting on the surface rather than being extruded from the surface. There may be an infinitesimal gap between the base and the horseshoe. There should be no skin between the horseshoe and the lower base.
That area where the infill is exposed doesn't look right either. That infill area should not go to the slot. On that layer the only place infill should be exposed is directly beneath the horseshoe. I think you might have an inverted surface there.
Here is a similar model.
The infill should be a continuation up from the base and into the interior of the horseshoe feature.
The top layer of the base should look something like this...

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
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.
