Line left on object after revolving

Hey everyone,

 

I am fairly new to Fusion360. After revolving the inside of a plant pot I am designing, the sketch line is imprinted into my object, and it will show when 3D printing. I attempted everything I have seen online but that simply won't go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The line in question is the sole black line on the inside of the pot.

Thank you in advance.

That "line" is a model edge that is required for the mathematics of a complex revolved surface.  It should not cause any harm - the surface will still be continuous across that edge.  If it bothers you visually, turn off edge display, by setting your visual style to "Shaded":

Unfortunately that line does who on the print itself too, after I printed.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

@olafserdmann 

What resolution did you set for the stl?

Are you talking about a 3D print?  Or a 2D drawing print?  I find it hard to believe that this shows up on a 3D print, but as @TheCADWhisperer says - if you share your model we can investigate further

Hi,

Is it possibly an (unavoidable) Z-seam in 3D printing?

Yes, talking about a 3D print. You can believe whatever you want, it prints it, and it show it on the slicing software. I will share the file here shortly under @TheCADWhisperer's comment.

It is not, unfortunately. I print a variety of shapes and things that do not have that at all.

here is what I see when I apply analyses to this face:  This looks completely continuous across that edge:

what do the tool paths across the seam  look like in your slicer?

but it isn't, the line is still there. I posted a couple pics of a sample print

Thanks for the photos.  Yes, there is a line there.  But, I notice that the seam is also on the outside of the body.  So, I don't think it is related to the revolve feature on the inside cavity of the body.  It could be a slicer problem, or maybe a mesh export problem - can you try exporting the mesh with a higher resolution?

Which slicer are you using?
If seam is set to aligned, this seam will result.

Another question.
Did you only export the solid or also the surface?

Can you Attach your resulting *.stl file here as well.

What Refinement Option settings do you have set?

TheCADWhisperer_0-1702463485415.png

Have you considered a REMESH of the stl?

Hi,

Even if various registers are now pulled in Fusion, there is no getting around designing the z seam in the slicer appropriately.

I would not call this "pulling registers in Fusion 360".

I would call this proper approach to problem analysis. If , after remeshing, there is still a seam, then very clearly, the original CAD model is NOT the problem and everything points to your conclusion. 

The OP can very well believe your analysis (I do), but there is knowledge to be gained by these experiments!

I don’t know what this means?
