Is this just too small?
this piece is only 4mm in the x direction so there are very few printer passes. Can I improve it some how?
export from scad and sliced with Prussia slicer. Printed at .1 mm.
RE: Is this just too small?
A smaller nozzle will help with finer detail. Remember that it's difficult to print anything smaller than your nozzle diameter. If you have a lot of fine details, a 0.25mm nozzle might help (within reason). Anything printed with an FFF printer is going to look horrible blown up 400% or more in a picture, but you can get decent results with small prints for viewing at arm's length.

RE: Is this just too small?
Ah. Ok. I do have a .25 I think.
also maybe if I flipped the piece on it’s edge I could take advantage of the.1mm layer height.

Possibly, although the circular openings tend to be a bit misshapen printed like that. Definitely experiment. Adhesion may also be a challenge as the parts get smaller. Definitely give your PEI a good clean before printing small things.

i remembered “ironing” which worked wonderfully
