I have 3 P1S’s and cant seem to make these Z-seams lines go away or at least better? Printing in standard .20mm Standard at normal speed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
You cannot fully eliminate these other than post processing. It’s part of the MFG process with 3d printing. There are ways to reduce the visibility which some include but not limited to:
Wipe distance
Retraction
Coasting or z hop
Essentially flow control at the end/start of the layers
You can make the seam random but then it look like zits/blobs all over.i usually align them and place in least visible location.
You can also try vase mode but you’ll have some limitations there too.
I’d you google z seam there should be lots of info on the above mentions and more.
Some materials make them more visible as well.
You can draw the line yourself in Bambu Studio so that it is on the back, for example:
Another option is to play around with automatic alignment. Some surfaces look better random, others aligned.
However, you will never be able to eliminate them completely. The best thing to do is to put it on the back where no one can see it. If that’s still not enough: Filler & paint spray can.

Welcome to the forum.
Just to add to what has been already said, making sure that your belts are tensioned correctly and your rods are clean will help if you are experiencing “worse than normal” seams.
Thanks all!
I have them on the back but still was trying to minimize them to improve overall look.
Happens on all 3 printers so should not be a belt tension issue but helpful suggestions, I will fool around with it all some more.
Thanks again.
For me, the best improvement was changing wall order to inside/outside/inside. You need at least 3 walls to see an effect.
Maybe scarf seam can further improve it. In default wall order the results of scarf seam were different but not really better. That was when it was first released, so it might work better now.
