🖋️ Improving Readability & Print Quality

Printing small, detailed elements like ruler markings can be challenging. Here’s how to get the best results:

• Use a Fine Nozzle
  A 0.2mm nozzle is recommended for sharper text and tick marks. The example images were printed with a 0.4mm nozzle.
• Optimize Layer Heights
  Use a fine layer height or enable variable layer height for a good balance between print speed and detail quality.
• Prevent Color Blending
  If using multi-color markings on the same layer, be aware that filaments may mix, especially high-contrast colors like black and white, reducing text clarity. Set Ironing to “Top Surface” in your slicer to get the best results.
