Hello gurus, what do you suppose could be causing this?

Pic says it all. That is the point where each layer starts and stops printing.

Ah.. I believe that is normal, I just found out about Z seam alignment. I feel like a dill hole. Can I delete this thread?

The Z seam is best at one of the stern corners.

 

The prize for answering your own question is that you get to figure out where to put the Z-seam on this one.

Either bow?

Depends how good you are at removing support.

[GregValiant 1,261]

@HienoKaveri Either bow would work.  I figured since I'd just be looking at one side (till it got thrown away) I went with "Starboard" so they all collected out of site.  Thinking about it...Port and Starboard are a little confusing on that as they depend on which cabin you happen to be standing in.  I wonder how they figure it out on double-ended locomotives?

 

I see @Slashee_the_Cow has the Zseam of her ballet dancing "en-pointe" version (I had to look that one up) set to "Keel" which in my (never humble) opinion shows imagination but a possible lack of respect for a very serious model.

 

Here is another test -  my infamous "1/2 Mobius".  (It's a double sided, double edged, double loop, head scratcher of a model.)

If you want to make me scratch my head, make a model of some Penrose stairs and we'll talk.

You want pretzels with your beer too?

That's some awful nice looking flat topography you got going there. Let's have a look at that screenshot again?

Something looks fishy. TV-style BS zoom and enhance!

Don't really get the former down under, can't stand the latter. You can get me some Iced VoVos to enjoy with my chocolate milk though.

I have the design specifications right here and there are absolutely no criteria that said the steps had to be TALL.

[Slashee_the_Cow 279]

Get me an orthographic view and a measuring tool, stat!

I'm pretty sure 0.391mm is less "stair" and more "floor which is so not completely flat you won't realise it without a digital level".

[GregValiant 1,261]

If I had stolen a better image off the internet the stairs would be better.  Not tall mind you, but better.

Sometimes it's all about how you look at things.

You know damn well I have no depth perception. It doesn't mean you can get away with pulling a fast one on me like this.

[GregValiant 1,261]

Sure it does.

Besides, you can't model a 2D optical illusion.  I was forced to cheat.  It wasn't my fault.
