Hey everyone,
Just learning my way around this world and am trying to print a scaled up version of this coffin lid, but it’s throwing in a weird negative space line when I scale this up. Its going to hold a set of handfast cords for a Halloween event and I would like this to be completely smooth on the lid. It’s not visible from the straight download, only after I scale up. The STL is from MakerWorld: Halloween Coffin Top Remix (top only) Remixed by Dirty Faced Kid MakerWorld: Download Free 3D Models and I’m scaling it up to 194.36% (don’t ask, just accommodating a bridezilla) I do see this white line on the initial file but its on an inside seam line before scaling. Is there a way to fix this? Appreciate everyone’s assistance, I’m running out of time to get all this stuff done.
Check your profile’s seam settings, or the saved 3mf’s seam painting.
Downloaded STL, placed on plate, scaled to 194.36, slice, seam seems to come in as expected, in a hidden corner.

Thanks for helping with this. There are 2 seams on the unit when I slice, the one is still inside (like your screen shot) but then there is one on the other bottom corner on the face side giving me this negative line.
I’m not real sure if the seam settings need to be altered. I’ve attached a screen shot of the current seam settings. Not sure where to look at the 3mf’s seam painting (or exactly what that is).
the seam settings are whatever came in with the file or the system preset. I haven’t done anything within those options.
The little lock icon is curious
Click this
Camera around and Check for any painted seams. Maybe just tell it to erase everything for good measure
I think that lock icon just locks in the seam position choice if you want it to. There are no painted seams when I go searching, and Erase all painting doesn’t do anything, and the line is still there when I try slice the plate (I flipped filament to clear the original slice since paint menu did no changes)
.
interestingly, I flipped from “aligned” to “back” on the seam position and that puts the seam down the corner line instead on the face so might just have to go with that. at least then it follows a natural line of the unit instead. Debating if it would look better running down the natural line or if I should set that to random and have the little dots all over the piece. Can anyone tell me if those then become tiny specs that are open around the unit in random?
If some guy on the internet’s opinion has any weight: I hate how random seam looks, it looks defective. Only ever for spinny bits that wont be seen

I’m going to run it so it’s down the seam edge using the back setting. Should be less of a visual on the corner. Thanks for the guidance. Learn a few new things with every project.
