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?

You need some kind of filler if you want seams to disappear, like bondo. The filler will be ugly though so you're going to need paint for sure.
Clever design can make seams less visible but the joints are always going to be there to some degree.
Or just live with the seams lol.
Fixing your warping/shrinking will make them less visible too.
