Random is situational. I like it in some cases.
1. For strength, to avoid explicit weaknesses in a loaded part.
2. To distribute deformation introduced by the starts, you could get a bulge in threads for example that you can feel when screwing if its all in one spot.
3. For surfaces with Fuzzy Skin texture, which is perfectly augmented.
bearings is another example of a good use for random.
I could be wrong, but to me it clearly looks like the Orca Slicer version is better because the Seam goes at an angle. The Studio version still goes straight up and down... Thanks for taking the time to do all this testing 🤘🤘
Yeah for sure the orca slicer does put it at an angle by default. I should paint a slanted seam in the Beta and see what the results look like.
Just printed a test piece in the Bambu Studio Beta with a painted slant seam and it doesn't look as good as Orca. It's still a more obvious start to the seam. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx45WqwanIllXCBjGarZbfs_BGrNKCwYaC
Orca is better overall, until they mess up a version, everything gets screwy, and you have to revert. One version raised my z offset and I had Wei readjust after a couple of unattended failed prints
Great video! The principle of operation of the scarf seams is so simple yet makes magical things with the resulting models.
Thanks, yeah it is super simple and for certain models it looks incredible.
When seam painting, if you just paint a tiny bit at the top of that corner, it will automatically go vertical from there. You don’t have to try to paint a straight line down that corner
This makes complete sense. Thanks for the tip.
This doesn't seem to work for me.
Nope not here. The key is to paint the bottom, hold mouse, hit esc, then paint again at the top. It'll connect the dots
This is a super helpful breakdown of the seam issue with varied approaches to solving it. Well done and great to put a face to the voice of your videos.
Glad you found it helpful. Wasn’t sure if I was ever going to show my face and maybe just leave it as a faceless channel forever but I think that’s kinda limiting as far as some of the video ideas I have for the future.
Thank you so much for performing and sharing these experiences. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you do in every episode as it effectively saves 1000’s of man hours across the user base who would have otherwise performed similar efforts. 🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍
I'm happy to do the experiments. Thank you for the support and encouragement :) I do find it crazy when I look at the watch hours and it is 1000's of hours a month that people don't have to spend doing the same experiments.
Very well done! I certainly do appreciate your work in this topic. I believe I have been overlooking the seam issues in a lot of my prints. Thank you.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.
As someone who just got their first 3D printer (P1S) this channel has been a godsend. Pretty much every problem or issue I've been facing week 1 has been explained in one of your videos. subscribed :D
Glad you found the videos helpful and thanks for subscribing :)
I believe "nearest" actually puts the seam closest to where the hotend will be when it begins that layer. More of a speed thing
It prioritizes “concave non-overhang vertex > convex non-overhang vertex “ and if those don’t exist it will choose the closest to the end of the previous print path. wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/Seam
Great video - thanks for the effort. I really liked the example that you printed to showcase how the settings look in real life. Especially the outlook to the 1.9 beta version with Scarf seam looked promising - looking forward to have that in the finale release.
Thanks for this vid. Saved me a bunch of time and research.
No worries, glad I could help
Great video. Thanks for the info. I didn't know this.
Glad you liked it.
Excellent job! Subscribed!
Thanks!
Thank you for this video. It is very useful to me. 😃
You're welcome, glad you found it useful.
I remember year ago cura used to have a setting where the printer would keep going and flow some filament as it came off of an end seam. I don't remember what seeing it was
i remember now it was coasting! i had dialed it in real good back in the day. when did that feature get left behind? i thought it was awesome
Helpful video! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I wonder what it would look like if you had the seam on the inner walls? For example, if you had three walls, you could put the seam in the middle of the two walls
Note: You can have both Bambu versions at the same time.
Download the official release as .exe (which then will be downloaded into your windows directory)
And then install 1.9.0 (or else) as .zip on to your desktop. (Installs all necessary files in one folder) You can then easily switch between them.
Thanks for adding this.
I have deleted all versions of bambu studio and downloaded the version you are giving us on the links. And for some reasone thenscarf option is not there.
I am very puzzled on how this super expensive printer has a seam and all my other printers did not have any.
Why are there so many thumbs down? This is a helpful video.
485 likes vs 14 dislikes. That’s a 97.2% ratio and the channel average is 97% so it’s pretty typical. Not everyone is going to like the video. There might be something they don’t agree with. I don’t like the look of random seams and maybe that’s their favorite setting, who knows. I try not to think about it and focus on making helpful videos.
I'm thinking in the next 6 months, seams should be practically invisible as scarf seams get put through the paces. Very excited. So far, had good and bad with scarf seams, but the potential is game-changing.
Yeah as more and more testing gets done it should only get better. I don't think it should be the default but I think people should know it exists.
Its hard to tell from just the video, but it almost looks like on the default seams the 100% gap is actually smoother. The 0% seems like its overextruding along the sides next to the seam, where on 100% the gap is still welded but the edges have more space to go and it doesn't balloon out as much. Is this visible to you or anyone else here, or am I just seeing it wrong?
Would you like to compare your results with the results you would get out of Cura?
I‘m personally slicing with cura and i can not remember that i had such big seams on my prints in the last years. You are not the first youtuber that showed such big seams out of Bambulab.
I wonder if this is not such a big thing in Cura or have i simply overlooked big seams in my prints 😅
It depends a lot upon the filament you're using. For example, it shows up heavily on silk. Seams are probably the same on all slicers, at least up until this new development.
Random seam is good where you use fuzzy skin, hides the seam completely.
I knew I was forgetting something in this video! I wanted to mention fuzzy skin as an option.
What if we did outer inner outer?
Good to see the difference between orca en Bambu here ….Orca it is then 😜
Yeah I was surprised to see a difference honestly. I'm printing another test with a painted slanted seam in the bambu studio beta to see if that was the only difference. But if you don't want to have to do this each time then orca is the answer.
Nice Vader lightsaber hilt 🤭
Thanks :)
Mind sharing link to print file?
Hi!
Why im not seeing the "Seam Gap" and "Wipe Speed" options in the slicer? I changed to advanced config but cant see those.
What version of Bambu studio do you have installed?
Can we do random and scarf at the same time?
Yup, you can do both of those at the same time. I haven't tested that yet. You'll have to let me know how that looks if you try it.
I you are making your own model you might be able to put a seam into the model.
Definitely but this video is focusing on perfect cylinders and how to slice them. At the beginning of the video I show a couple of examples of hiding seams when there is the geometry for it.
I have more than one version on my machine, so that is incorrect.
Mine kept replacing the existing version. Good to know it is possible to have multiple versions.
set the seam setting to random.... video should be 5 seconds long, done
I personally dislike the look of "random" seams. But to each their own.
