About this print
This is a guide to using scarf seams in Orca Slicer, a program used to prepare models for 3D printing. It is typically consulted when adjusting seam settings, reducing the visibility of layer starts and optimising the appearance of printed surfaces. The subject is relevant to users testing slicer settings and comparing seam results. For practical tests, PLA is a sensible material because it prints consistently and makes changes between settings easier to compare.
