Weird line on single wall tower

Hi makers,

Yesterday I was trying some parameter variations one a single wall tower and this happened :

As you can see, a weird line is on the left side. I watched the extruder movment and it did this for each layer :

So 5 and 6 caused this line. Do you guys know what this is ? I mean why there are 5 and 6 movment and how to change that ?

I don't really care for my tower purpose but I don't want this to appear on real prints.

This looks like a wipe move to me.
Look at your slicer settings. in Simplaify3D e.g. wipe is by default set to 2 mm in the MK3 profile

I use Slic3r and there is indeed a wipe option enabled, but I can't find the lenght. Anyway, I'll try to disable it and print my tower again. Thank you for your answer.

That's a good question ! Actually I wanted to enable the Vase model but I couldn't because Slic3r considered there was more than one object on the plater. I've just tried 2 minutes ago and it worked. Should be better indeed 🙂
