This seemed to be the case, I was using matterhacker for slice and print. Didn't have this issue with Cura. Thanks a lot mate!

<p>This one is turning out to be a real head-scratcher. I'm running a stock Creality CR-10S and there seems to be a single line approx 45° across the print on the X-axis direction.</p>
<p>I have attached images to better explain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

This are probably wrong theories, so let's exclude them: Does this anyhow correlate with an infill pattern (here I think of "Infill overlap (%)" setting) or with the starting point of print for the outer wall (a Z-seam, you would need to observe during the print)?

Do you print Infill before walls? Can you print a copy of that item and *abort* that print mid-way, showing the infill together with the erroneous area? On the black item, the seams are on the upper or lower edge afaict.

Hi, thanks a lot for the reply. These parts are hollow, and infill for both are concentric. Does it have to do with belt tension or motor vibrations?
