Ok what slicer are you using? Those are the start and stops of each line. Is stopping short or starting late from your ooze control settings. Keep in mind you will always have a seam. The trick in tuning is to make that seam as invisible as possible.

If you are printing the MakerGear white PLA, your retraction settings might be too high. It really doesn't need to be over 0.5mm for most PLA. Check those in the Ooze Control settings of Simplify 3D. (Bottom of the page on the Extruder tab.)

And just a suggestion.....try it on a smaller print to see if you have the settings dialed in correctly before you tackle something that time-consuming. My first two days of prints were boring little calibration squares, while I figured out what settings worked best for which filaments. :)
