  • Arachne perimeter generator to Classic

    Yes I do use arachne. I did try to change it to classic when I was messing with my 3D-printed lens experiment, and while arachne wasn’t perfect, it left fewer artifacts inside the “lens” than classic.

    I’ll try to revisit classic for this one print.

    doing an ironing pass on your top layer may help conceal this from an aesthetic standpoint but won’t do anything for you structurally

    I’ll try ironing, This one is purely an esthetic problem. The part is just a cover for a case that holds electronic bits inside.


  • Measured the real filament diameter before printing and corrected the slicer settings to the measured diameter?
    Are the extruder steps calibrated?

    No and I don’t even know how to do that 🙂 The printer is the company’s Prusa XL and we’re using it as it came out of the box. I’m normally very happy with what it churns out, it’s just that small esthetic issue on a part that bears the company logo, that we intend to sell to customers.

    I’ll look into that. Thanks!
