In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

I also am wondering how to fix this, I tried what bastiaanwormgoor said, and it fixes it a little but the cracks are still noticeable although not now as big.

The best way I do it and its worked for me everytime so far is go under Nurbs and select "Extend Surfaces". I would play with the settings a little. What it does it extend's the end of the edge. I usually go with .1 and keep extending till theres no seem. Hope that helps.
