Prusa Slicer 2.0 How would I go about to get rid of that vertical "seam"

Hello. I'm trying to get rid of a stubborn vertical seam in slicer 2.0.  

The object is a fuel line thingee of my friend's volvo which he broke and I remade and will try to print out with nylon using a 100% infill.

There must be a way to hide it somehow I just haven't figured it out. 

Thank you for your time. seam photo

Best Answer by Neophyl:

A seam of some sort is impossible to avoid with current fused filament printers.  There are various options in the slicer you can select to alter the position of the seam, like random, aligned, rear, etc.  Normally the slicer on the default setting will try and hide the seam in the corners like it has done of the exterior of your pictured slice preview.  However with a cylinder there aren't any corners.

Personally I prefer them lined up like that as its easy to ream the holes out afterwards and smooth them out with with a drill bit or a proper hole reamer if you have one to get the hole true to size.

Vase Mode ...

Or use random seams on a well calibrated printer.

Given that model in the image vase mode isn’t going to be an option for it.

I refuse to look at photos not posted on the forum ... so I probably should not have even commented.
