PDF

This model has many types of seams when sliced. These include external round/sharp, internal round/sharp, external overhang/underhang round/sharp.

It should be ideal for testing seam settings, such as scarf seams, because you will see your changes in multiple situations in the one print.

This model was used to try and tune scarf seams, an upcoming feature of OrcaSlicer. As you can see, visible seams can almost be eliminated.
