How to I get rid of seams

Hi Mikehall397 👋 and welcome to the 3D-Trabelshot Community! 🌍✨

Let’s start with what a Z seam is. When 3D printing, the printer lays down each layer of material in a continuous path. The Z seam is the point where the printer stops one layer and starts the next. This usually leaves a slight mark or “seam” on the surface of the print, which can sometimes be noticeable, depending on the model and settings.

Now, in Creality Slicer (or similar slicer software), you have control over where this seam appears:

1️⃣ Random: Scatters the seam in different locations, making it less noticeable overall but potentially rougher on the surface.

2️⃣ Sharpest Corner: Places the seam at the sharpest edge or corner of your model, where it’s less visible on smooth areas.

3️⃣ Back or Custom: Lets you manually control or align the seam to a specific area.

For beginners, I recommend trying Sharpest Corner or enabling the Hide Seam option (as shown in your screenshot). This will help the seam blend more naturally with your model while maintaining quality.

Hope this helps, and happy printing! 😊
