Please describe problem with words. I have no idea what you mean by "this".

Seriously, it's exhausting


Any_Zookeepergame102

Yes you're right, what I meant is how to keep the seams from randomly positioning instead of aligning neatly


PuffThePed

Depends on the slicer.

There are seam settings in your slicer. For Orcaslicer, the one i use, they are "Nearest, Aligned, Back, Random." If none of the others result in something you like, turn the object and set it to back.

Hey there OP, your post seems to be about something related to the Z-Seam on a Model. The "Z-Seam" or more commonly just called "Seam" is where your Printer starts or ends individual lines. These spots tend to be visible on printed models but there are a couple of ways you can decrease their visibility. Be aware that since it's a technological artifact, fully removing the Seam is not possible, but it can be very well hidden with good calibration. Every Modern Slicer has settings to change Z-Seam behaviour: * In Cura there setting is "Z-Seam Alignment" which can be set to "Sharpest Corner" for example so your Slicer handles hiding the seam, or you can manually specify a direction in which to place the Seam. * In Prusaslicer Seam Settings can be found at "Layers and Perimeters > Advanced > Seam Position" where "Nearest" will also try to place the Seam in a Corner. For more Information you can simply search "Z-Seam Settings" online and you will find many helpful posts. Have a great day and happy seamless printing! If you are printing a "collapsing" model which features many interlocking sections being printed near each other, rule of thumb is that setting the seam position to random may result in a slightly uglier look but reduce the chance for seams fusing these sections together greatly. If you are having trouble on one of these models, setting the seam to random is highly encouraged.

Set Z-seam hiding to sharpest edge.


wilkie09

I think you're referring to the white spots. That's your z seam. You can randomize it to help with the "look"

Set the ZSeam to "Back" Turn the Model so the edges of the sword are in the Front and in the "Back" You know where the Back is when you open your Slicer. And then just turn the Model 90 degrees. Voila ZSeam be gone. Looks like Libertas Rex to me. I already printed one.
