Any way to prevent letters being "crushed" on the first layer?

Jump

  • @ExtremeDullard small text is notoriously difficult to print. These are face down? I’ve had some success making a slight gap, so the letters aren’t even touching the print bed. So they would be like .1mm inset. Haven’t tried it with dual extrusion though. You might want to have the gap extend into the black as well. Should be easy to do with Inkscape or Affinity designer and boolean using Blender.
    A smaller extruder nozzle (.2mm vs standard .4mm) might help as well. Good luck! ✌️

    • The magnetic printing plate shifted early in the print - or something else happened?

  • @ExtremeDullard just a guess, perhaps the extruder nozzle hit the print and offset the layers? Someone had that happen in the Orca slicer discord with a large print. It was lifting off the print bed. What filament did this happen with? Does your printer have a camera, can you watch the timelapse?
