Thanks.

Shortest and sharpest corner are both fixed Z lines like user specified.

If i pick random it creates alot of travel moves.

Is there a way to nudge it a bit every layer without creating travel moves?

Like with "wipe nozzle" on simplify3d

I can wipe nozzle on Cura too but it stays on the same point.

    If you want to spread it over the object, you can only use random and then the print head as to travel to this position. There is no option to have it "a little bit random" and with minimal travel moves.

     

    Personally I prefer to place the Z seam to a corner or position where it doesn't disturb the model or where I can easily remove it in post processing. So I mostly use "user specified" and sometimes use the expose seam settings to sand it away.

    you can pick any corner and mid edge, but there is none for  'Center'

    I do print jobs where I have 4 items on bed and rotate pieces to get seam in same spot on items.

    is there a way to add 'center"

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
