The walls of your print are printed as continuous loops, but the printer must start that loop somewhere and close it up nicely. If the loop is not closed nicely, a visible seam will be created. These seams are hard to remove completely, but some things can be done to hide them or reduce their size.

This should not be confused with a "Z seam", which is a seam that is being created while the nozzle moves to the height of the next layer. This movement stops the nozzle for a brief moment, creating a [blob](blobs.md) there. Cura's terminology with the seam settings is historically wrong in this regard, as its so-called "Z seam" settings are really about where to place the normal seam.
