Did someone ever try to use a 3D printing pen to fill-in those nasty seam lines that a printed 3D model has on each layer? Usually I sand them away after optionally filling them with super glue and baking soda. I wonder if closing the gaps with a 1.75 mm filament compatible pen could be an option, as I could use the same filament used to print the model.

@bricks Have you tried chucking short pieces of filament in a Dremel or other rotary tool and friction welding over the seam?

I haven't done that for seam hiding but have successfully used it for repair, and it might be easier to control than a pen.

To clarify: I don't talk about the layer lines, but of the gap that ist created where the print head ends its journey on each layer. Usually you try to hide this seam at the back or inside your model but sometimes this is not possible and you end up with a visible scar where everyone can see it

@bricks orca and prusaslicer are able to hide seams now. Works quite well.
