1st time printing with ASA and it's my largest print that doesn't have any straight lines. I typically only design things with straight lines, pretty pleased with how this turned out. Threw in a cactus to fend off the cats but fortunately they don't seem very interested. Printed on a Bambu X1 carbon with Polymaker ASA.

Ooh, I quite like this. The design is lovely and that filament is super snazzy.

If I might offer some constructive criticism, I think a randomized Z-seam would've worked really well here, but I only noticed it when zooming in looking at one of the plants and if it's facing a wall or something it's non-existent anyways

Thanks! Yeah, the Z-seam became very apparent when I pulled it out of the printer. It's easier to see in person than in pictures. Oh well, next time.

Depending on if the seam is concave or convex, you might be able to use a file or thin piece of fine sandpaper to remove it, but you might wind up with an ugly scratch worse than a uniform line.

Either way it still looks very nice.
