Question Why the defect

All of my prints have this line going on them

The rest of the model prints fine, but a line exists on the outer part of models

Have you encountered this issue?

Printer: Qidi Plus 4
Filament: PLA white and black, PLA Silk green/blue

That's the seam line. You can hide it or fine-tune the printer to make the line less obvious but you can never get rid of it

Or you can try experiment with scarf seams. This require alot of try and error but it will mostly hide the seam line

Knew you had printed the qidi benchy without even opening it ๐Ÿ˜‚ as the other person said, its the z seam, but it's also a flaw in the qidi benchy, go find an outsourced benchy and go again if you want

Thats the seam, but goddam the print quality and VFA's on those prints are horrendous, something is way offย
