Re: Wierd layer lines (noob question)

Hi

looking at the picture, my guess it that it's OK. It seems that you print quite large in terms of layer height, guessing 0.3 mm height.

Just try to print it with 0.15 mm and see if it "goes away". Low angles / slopes look always like that because of layer height because it can't smooth the edges due to how FDM printing works.

lowering the layer height also result in longer print times. What you could do is using the variable layer height feature of Slicer Prusa edition. There is a video somewhere on the Prusa website in how to do that.

Hope it helps and that I understood your problem correctly.

cheers
