Seams

§Section titled Seams

• I used the following settings to get rid of the seam for clay stamp prints. I used 0.20 structural.
  • Avoid crossing perimeters: Enabled
    • Note that this can lead to layer shifting as mentioned in the Prusa CORE One note.
    • More on seams in this GitHub issue. It might be worth exploring a 360 degree scarf seam.
  • Seam position: Rear
  • Scarf joint placement: Everywhere
  • Scarf joint on inner perimeters: Enabled
