Z-seam is present in Spiral Vase mode in OrcaSlicer

[sensaurabh]

Whenever 'Spiral Vase' mode is selected in the 'Others' tab and an object is sliced, there is a z-seam present instead of smooth transition in the layers.

Can be easily reproduced by selecting a 'Cylinder' primitive from the right click menu and then slicing it after selecting the 'Spiral Vase' checkbox

Expected behavior would be a sliced single walled object with no z-seam

Printer model
KP3S Pro S1
Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [MacOS Ventura]
• Version [1.6.1]

Notes:

• could be happening because of there is no option to disable the 'Timelapse' mode?
• There is no option to disable the 'z-hop' in the printer menu?
• Have tried changing 'Seam gap' value, but it has had no effect on the seam generation.

New EDIT

• I disabled retractions in the Filament menu and the seam went away. Ideally even with retractions ON, if Spiral Vase mode is enabled, there should be no retractions or z-seam present in the model.

Update2

Spoke too soon. Disabling retractions cause "!! Invalid speed in 'G1 E0 F0'" error in Klipper.

Mac M1 OS 1.6.1 it works

Strange, for me I cannot get rid of the seam or the retractions at the white points you see in the included pictures. It's not just in the preview either. Are you doing anything different from the standard profiles? I have PA enabled.

Update
Disabling retractions seems to fix the issue, but it should work even without disabling retractions.

can you send your 3mf as zip?

[sensaurabh]

Here it is... Cylinder-zSeamInVaseMode.3mf.zip

Does the 3mf also carry over the Filament settings? Do you have retractions enabled in your filament settings?

I've been slicing in vase mode a lot and never saw this. Must be specific to config.
