Object wall deormations

This has been happening for a while now, and pardon me if I'm being a total noob, but I haven't been able to quite figure this one out.

After slicing the objects, I see these deformities that look like divets and gaps in the walls, and sometimes parts are missing as shown below, sometimes compromising the integrity of the parts.

Picture attached.

I'm quite certain this is a Cura issue because I've sliced the same objects in other Slicers and haven't had this issue.

Thanks in advance

Which version of Cura are you using? What are the settings for wall thickness? Is there a link for the STL file?

I wonder of that is the Start/Stop location for each layer (perhaps random locations?) Perhaps the z seam?

I think you have coasting enabled. It's under the experimental features tab.

I usually have it on (coasting)...I'm curious how that would generate artifacts?

You can choose the coasting volume (or something similar, don't know the exact name), if you set it too high you get artefacts like this.

It's probably the z-seam location setting. Change it to shortest.
