Seam hiding

Post by abuharsky »

The only one way to fully remove seams - spiralize.
But we can minimize visibility of the seams.

I have ABS 3mm,
at this moment I have made few experiments with same model, that printed multiple times (>20) and mark each then to compare and determine the parameters for the slicing.

If suck is bigger than prime, you are at risk of killing your print. When the object need a lot of short vectors the 0.1 mm "missing" will slowly empty the nozzle.

Not always. Global assumptions can be dangerous.

Been using Kisslicer for 3 years, z seams never used to be such a pain in the rectum. I cant get rid of it either.... thanks for sharing though.

I have done every thing I can think of to get rid of the blobs there are really bad with PLA.
I have not gone back and tried it yet but in looking at things that I printed with KS 1.2.0.1a it did not do this.
The prints would have a small gap but no blobs.
I think that all this came up when Jonathan fix the seam hiding and gap.

Hmn interesting. I was about to jump ship from Cura and Slic3r but I have never seen seams as bad as those in the "better result" picture. That would make KISS a non starter for me if that is the norm. Is it?

Here's what I get with my current settings. The opposite side is smooth. Kisslicer 1.5 beta 2.20. Seam hiding: depth=1, gap=1, de-string, use corners, wipe, angle=3 o'clock, jitter=180. Any ideas how to improve it?
