Ideally no paint as buying an entire bucket if white paint for a white print seems wasteful.
Is there any sort of filler I could use to hide the seams between the parts I have glued together?
Buy a 3d printer pen. Believe it or not they are pretty great at filling the spaces as long as the spaces are not too complicated or wide.
I used a mixture of baking soda+super glue which you can apply using a small spatula. This would require sanding afterwards of course and ideally painting, but it worked for me.
Print using a scarf joint so the seams have an overlap. Also that would get them up off the build plate where your warping problem is.
White silicone caulk would probably work well. Silicone wont get flaky or degrade over time.
Maybe some modeling putty like Green Stuff?
If it's a straight edge and the measurements don't have to be too precise I would just sand the edge flat, personally
fiberglass?
Can you remove material from the left side of the joint? That would close the gap on the right.
Print a 1 or 2 layer thick rectangle the length of the seam. Maybe 1cm wide. and glue on top. Sort of like how you use tape.
