first design - MK3 is great but need to minimize octogon effect of round features

Did my first design and it was also the first try using PET.

I am reasonably pleased with it being functional but wondering where I can learn to reduce the octogon effect rather than a radius.

Also, I thought PET would too sticky so I put some glue on the plate before printing. It is obvious that it did not stick well enough.

Again, it is functional but needs to stick better. I am sure I can find some information on that but any suggestions for the above is greatly appreciated,

During stl export, increase in the advanced parameters the number of polygons for curves.
128 is a good number for having a smooth round without having too large a file.

In your (nice) print you have probably 12 polygons

For your first photo, the 0 is too high, decrease offset by 50/100µ, it will stick better on the plate
