Ways to improve seams

I’ve notived that the seams are very poor and bad looking.
I can’t see any settings I can change in the slicer.
Any idea ???

I’m no pro but that’s a pretty typical looking seam, if 5/10 is average I’d give that a 4

Typical looking sure! But seams can be minimized and better hidden via slicer settings. Sadly we lack access to these.

Bambu I’d love to see better seam control. The sliced seams really do not compete compared to other slicers.

Which certain slicer settings would you look into?

It’s a sign of a poor k value.

If you are using the textured PEI sheet, don’t use flow control.
First Run flow control on the cool or engineering plate.
Then swap to the textured plate and do not re-run flow control.

it can be manually set in the g-code. And there are various methods for determining it for yourself.

I am looking for a better seam control.

Seam is HUGE. Where are the controls in the Slicer? I see the location for Seam, but there should be dials for extruding in and out of a path.

Evidently there is a need for other slicers. BamBu Lab should offer a profile for full access to the x1c from PrusaSlicer.

Discord verification is broken… handing out verification numbers via phone that are no good.

My seams are really bad too… I’m using the cool plate and doing the auto flow control. Not sure what to do to fix it???

Try adjusting the Seam gap here:

I just started trying out OrcaSlicer and I’m going to give this a shot. Thank you for the reply! I’ll report back with the results.

That set of options is no longer available in BambuSlicer. They only have Seam Position there now, even with advanced setting controls enabled.

You’ll only find those seam settings in Orca Slicer.

Old thread but here’s the fix

Go to preferences and turn on developer mode in Bambu studio. That will make the seam gap setting available.

Thanks for hinting that out, in the Wiki it only shows the old values. (now I’m hoping this actually fixes my horrible open seams or it was wet filament after all… guess since I’m changing both at the same time it might be hard to determine afterwards )

Did you wind up having any luck?
