Hi, im about to buy my first 3d printer for cosplay, i plan to do swords and armors, i have an option that will let me print chestplates or helmets in a single piece but is a bed-slinger, which can cause some (according to what i have investigated) some curvy lines the higher the prop goes, or i have other options that are CoreXY but dont have the same dimesnsions as the first one, which makes it so that i need to print big things on pieces and then glue them, but that has the problem that then the armor and props would be weaker, and i dont want my armor breaking mid con because i bumped into someone or something like that, but how much are the cuts noticeable? like im aware that they can become unnoticeable if done correctly, but im a beginner and it will be hard for me to do, so if possible i would like to avoid that, so are the curvy lines from the bed slinger too noticeable or for quality would it be better to go for the smaller CoreXY ones? (altough im more for the big one and just making it go slower)

also for someone with similar question, when writting it out it is easier to come to a decision altough not totally (writting this made me be more on the side of the CoreXY rather than fully confused but i still want some advice is possible)
