Printing a stronger cylinder?

Hello,

I recently tried to print a 3 perimeter cylinder to shore up a vacuum cleaner part I managed to crack.  When I slid the tight fit part over the original part it failed at the point where the print started and stopped each layer - a line up the side of the part.

Is there a way to force the g-code to shift over 60 degrees on the cylinder as it begins each layer? 

Spiral vase mode doesn't allow more than 1 perimeter Making the part very fragile...

Thanks in advance!

Thank you - that solved it!  

Not sure how I missed that in SETTINGS given I knew it was a 'seam' issue to ask the question!

Cheers,
