Challenge: Scarf Seams
Master the art of scarf seam placement! This month's challenge focuses on dialing in your scarf seam settings and techniques.
The Focus
The scarf seam is a powerful tool in your 3D printing arsenal. This challenge asks you to create a model with a carefully placed scarf seam on a sphere. Use this opportunity to experiment with different settings and share what you've learned about getting the perfect seam placement.
One of our community members designed a great test part specifically for this challenge! You can find their test model in our Discord server here: Community Scarf Seam Test Part{target="_blank"}
