Proper G-code viewer (no replies)

Just wanted to ask if there is a "proper" gcode viewer for testing prints before sending them to the 3D printer. I have tested quite a few and didn't find a single one that provides an accurate preview of the finished print. The reason I am asking is because I noticed some cases where the generated gcode was flawed and ruined the print. This could be avoided and potentially save filament and printing time which I guess is good for everyone.

The initial post about "ugly top cover areas" describes such a case:

I have created an animated gif showing the problematic layer for such a case. But as you can see, even with the "best" gcode viewer from Repetierhost, you can barely spot the offending layer...

Here is the printed result:

I have tried other visualisation methods with Blender and Paraview, but they are all unsatisfactory:

Thanks,
