Hey @Rachel009,

 

Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉
That looks like a cool cookie cutter! 

 

There are settings that you can change to improve the Variable Line Width that might be causing this behavior. .

You can read more about them here: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/4792077687068

Do you have a project file for us? It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting. 
To save a project file go to File -> Save project.

Hey @Rachel009,

 

Almost 😅

 

Can you share the .3mf file, here on the forum? 

To save a project file go
1. Click File in the top right corner
2. Click Save Project
3. Share your .3mf here on the forum

 

Than I can see both your model and the settings you used

Was that the right thing you were looking for?

Hey @Rachel009,

 

Thanks for sharing your file. 
It was indeed the one I was looking for. 

 

It seems that you had an unfortunetly placed Zseam.

If you change the Zseam Alignment to Shortest and the Seam Corner Preference to Hide or Expose Seam the chance of a broken line is waaaaay smaller.

 

Some additional changes you can consider are:
Wall Transitioning Threshold Angle to 50, to remove the dot of filament in your wedge
Wall Ordering from Outside to Inside, that's often more favorable. 
Retract Distance to a lower value, it might cause some stringing but there is a significant chance that you have a proper flow to start the new layer. 

Hope this helps! Good luck with your cookies 🍪
