It's a heavily upgraded Rigidbot Regular, single extruder.

Slight update. After I got the seam test good, I did a benchy. And there was still some blobs/divots though a lot better. Ticking off Update Machine Definition and Update Firmware Configuration made it more similar to Slic3r's seams benchy. Seems like S3D is doing something my printer doesn't agree ...

Z axis movment/travle speed to match X/Y travle speed.

My Z travle was 16.7mm/s, while x/y was 80mm/s in S3D.

Slic3r uses the same setting for X, Y and Z. That was the difference.

Sadly, Yoda is no more, or he's missing the better half of his head. BUT, eureka! Seam torture is now pretty much identical to Slic3r's :D And this also explains the slower printing speed with S3D on the Seam torture, since it's a lot of z movement on that model. It all makes sense now. Man, so typi...

Hmm, I just noticed. S3D has a own setting for Z Axis movement speed. While Slic3r just has Travle speed (which I guess uses the same for XY and Z). Might be something there, have to try that. Seeing as this issue is Z related. Little hesitant though, default is 16.7mm/sec, and XY is 80mm/s. Quite a...

Might be a tad to fast for optimal results. Much slower though, 40mm/s and lower. And the surface finish gets fuzzy with PETG for some reason. But I had the same with PLA. Just wanted to use PETG, since it oozes more it will show the seam defect more.

So, here are the results. PETG 230c/70c 60mm/s 0.20mm layer 20% infill. Benchy actual print time on S3D: 1hr 08min. Slic3er: 1hr 06min. Overall S3D did a better job. Slic3r had some heat issues, but the seams are night and day (Slic3r is way better). Can't really find the seams on the Slic3r model e...

Yupp, that's exactly what happens with my prints too. If I start playing with Extra Restart distance it affect other areas too. Hopefully it just a settings issue, will update as I discover more with trial and error. Seems I got the best I can do atm on Slic3r, changed to PETG which is more oozy tha...

Update: I'm playing around with Slic3r to try and get the best results I can, then transfere those settings to S3D. Since it seem to work better there. Also, while playing with the Extra restart after retract settings, I manage to recreate the seam I get in S3D, or at least very close. This was with...

Using the PLA settings for PETG, just up the temp. works pretty well.

Though PETG is a bit more oozy and harder to bridge. So might need to tweak some Adv. Settings.
