I know that the seam can be set to begin and end at random points. I’m nut sure having those little bumps all over the place would be an improvement. But I’m curious as to why the seam is meandering around on this tube. I would’ve expected it to be a straight line from top to bottom. Any thoughts?
You can force the seam to follow a straight lime by painting it onto the model. Explore the options on the top of the slicer a bit.
However, best seam performance, in my experience, comes from using the scarfed seam.
What type of seam have you selected, this seems to be the “nearest” selection. If you seelct “aligned”, it should result in a straight line.
Thanks Philch. I checked. It was on the default setting (since I’ve never messed with it) of “Aligned”. I’ll experiment to see what might work better. If worse comes to worse, I’ll go at it with a file.
Well, although most of the time I checked" aligned" I ended up with a straight line but I almost always built engineering model that are mainly with flat surfaces. I printed some none so flat piece today and ended up with something like your example (you can check the seam in bambu studio) and sometimes the “back” option results in a better seam depending if the back is actually flatter than the front. You may have to play with the options but also with model orientation until you’re satisfied with the way the seam will show and also where it will show. I haven’t tried the scarf option yet but hear good feedback.
I feel like I can really relate to that seam. Makes me think of myself, and life, meandering about as the rest of the world looks on thinking “wtf is going on”

Worked well for me, except… overhangs on thin walled structures. But I have not yet played around with the seam settings.
