Z Seam Alignment

Z Seam Alignment is a slicer setting that determines where the start and end points of each layer are placed on the perimeter of a 3D print. This setting is crucial for controlling the visibility of the seam that occurs when the print head moves from one layer to the next.

Recommended values: For optimal results, align the Z seam with a less visible part of the model, such as a corner or a less detailed area. Experiment with different settings to find the best balance for your specific print.
