The seam on a 3D print is often visible. Its where the layer height changes while 3D printing. Chuck shows you how to control seams in Cura Slicer. There are settings to make seams mostly disappear and settings to put it on a specific location. All the settings in Cura Slicer are explained in this episode of Filament Friday.

Dang man, this helped so much. The setting is no longer called "shell", it's under "walls" now, but this video is still 100% relevant and extremely helpful to someone new to the hobby. Thank you, CHEP.

@jakabgipsz4788 5 лет назад

If the seam is as noticeable as in the video, then there is a problem with the other settings. There is still pressure in the nozzle when the movement is completed and a little extra material is added when the layer is changed. The solution to this is coasting. This stops feeding the filament a few moments before stopping, so the pressure of the molten plastic is reduced and no tiny blob is formed. This eliminates the seam much better than the methods mentioned here. Together they are the best.

@dugy40 2 года назад

I am sure he knows this. You can’t set it to hide the seam. You’d have a hole with no filament. No way yiu know more than chep.

This was fantastic! I am making small puppet props (coffee mugs) and I get a seam. I am more than happy to sand the seam since I have to sand the print anyway, but it is so much better to know how to use the tools in Cura to place the seam in the best position. This video was direct, informative, interesting and highly instructive. Thank you so much. I do not know how you keep your workshop so clean and organized!

@DasGrinch 5 лет назад

It took me so long to realize that with round prints, you can't really hide the seam. You just control where it goes. Seams can be especially noticeable with silk/metallic filaments, they seem to leave bigger bumps behind when you use them. Excellent advice and experiments as always =)

@kflynt2006 4 года назад

thank you chep for all your videos. you are a great help! i always choose your videos i think they are the best explained

@soggynode 5 лет назад

Great information, thanks as always. I never thought much about seams until I tried out the creawesome profile. I normally print a Chep cube and/or a benchy when I try out new filaments or profiles so naturally it made sense to print a few test parts with the various creawesome settings. I was not at all happy to find a big seam running up the port side of my benchy that I'd never seen before. I immediately jumped to the conclusion the creawesome profile was rubbish and was going to leave it at that. Looking into it though I found the seam settings and put the seam on a corner which tempered my crankiness somewhat. I still don't care much for the creawesome profile and switched back to the stock Cura profile and just use Chep's magic0.20 settings but I did learn something. Thanks for sharing so much of what you learn. Your videos are really helpful and I refer to them often.

@WhereNerdyisCool 5 лет назад

If you neglected to show how to hide it ? Just re position it. Coasting ? Coasting distance? You’ve left me hanging. 🙂

@carbide1968 5 лет назад

Coasting and wiping are the only ways i found that seem to help. I have been messing with flow rate and some luck also.

@bambinothegreat9245 5 лет назад

Keep the videos coming my friend! HUGE help!

@MrBebopChamploo 3 года назад

To my understanding, the "Hide Seam" option moves the seem to a place on the print that is less visible, if such a place exists. So if you imagine printing the letter "T", the seem would be at one of the corners where the horizontal line meets the vertical line. But if you're printing a cylinder or a cube, there's no such place to "hide" that seem - every possible location is basically equally visible. So I think this option only makes a difference on more complex shapes.

@willpolicarpio141 5 лет назад

Under the Shell section of Cura you can find "Outer Wall Wipe Distance" this feature will move inward the nozzle after outer wall, this will hide the seam better. Try adjusting it bit-by-bit and see the difference. Cheers.

@BobPalmetto Год назад

Awesome tutorial! Essential for holes as well! New to this hobby, and was wondering why I had this "artifact" running down one side of all the 1/8. 1/4, 5/32, 5/16 inch holes I had in a 1/4" PLA plate I was making. This makes fitting metal support rods through the plate about impossible without first drilling. Randomizing the seam location gets rid of this and when you push the metal rod through it effectively "deburs" the hole. Just be sure the rods aren't too tight or else you might crack the plate, so a light sanding might be best. Without this tutorial I'd be lost on this one as I kept going down the retraction rabbit hole. And indeed it's related, but if your retraction settings are reasonably good then this is the fix.

@seventyfive1 5 лет назад

You can also hide the infill by unchecking the box next to "infill before walls". If you have overhangs you want infill first, if you want cosmetics you want walls first.

Nicely done! And, for the masters class, use the cylinder, and show how to adjust retraction, coasting, and related settings to minimize the seam as much as possible.

@CoroaEntertainment 3 года назад

On a round object (like that pawn), in some cases you're much better off having a single seam in one location. It's easier to sand a single seam, which saves you from ruining the nice smooth surface on the rest of the print... compared to having to sand everywhere to get rid of all the countless little "bits", thus leaving a dull matte surface in most cases.

I was going it before but manually! but of course that means being at the printer at the time! could be at 3:00 AM. keep up the good work that no others are doing! thank you.

@TheFarCobra 3 года назад

@tablatronix 4 года назад

If you really want to hide seams on a cylinder, you might want to play with coasting, combing -> not in skin, and retract before outer wall, and retract on layer change, I have had mixed results, and it really depends on layer height and speed, but you can get a little bit less material extruding on the seam and it helps hide it.

@JohnSmith-mk8hz 5 лет назад

Good video. You can also do a retract on layer change and a wipe while retracting. That helps to hide the seam if aligned, or the zits when using random seam.

@beauregardslim1914 5 лет назад

I'd use spiralize aka vase mode for these. No seam and no travel if set up correctly. Reduce layer hight and increase line width (say from .4 to .5) for stronger prints. It is still a good idea to tune those "seam" settings and check your preview to be sure there are no travel lines because cura sometimes gets confused.

@JohnEdwa 5 лет назад

The Z-seam is actually the result of where the outer wall is started and ended, the layer change happens in the infill and doesn't leave anything visible. It's easy to see if you do a preview of the layer print in Cura, the first thing that is printed is the infill, and the last thing that happens is a travel move from the end of the outer wall to the spot in the infill the next layer starts at.

@hogstoothairsoft1967 2 года назад

To say „hide seam“ is useless and try it only on a cylinder is a bit silly… it does not work on round objects… try it in a complex object, it will place it on edges wherever edges are, so it’s a „clever sharpest corner mode“ 😉
