Need assistance with bumps in print
I’m trying to print a try for holding cards and tokens for a tabletop board game, but getting bumps in the top flat surface.
Can anyone tell me how to avoid this/possible causes?
Thank you

Increase your infill %. 15% is too low for large flat top surfaces. Printing 0.1mm layers over those gaps its going to sag and with the amount of thin top layers you have it wont really recover and produce a smooth top layer. Generally for those I go up to 30% or even 40%. You could also use modifier(s) to increase the infill % just for those areas.

could you save your settings for this model, as a Project file, in Prusa Slicer, then Zip Compress the file, and attach the zip file to your next post?
this will let us see your settings and help us to make suggestions to improve the results.

Hello,
I would be happy to. Is that just the sliced file from Prusa Slicer? Or I need some data from the printer? I've been using it a while, but im a noob at this part of it.

click on the file menu, then click on save project as... save with a suitable file name.
then zip compress the resultant file, and attach the zip file to your post!

Hello,
Thank you very much. I guess that was the problem. I printed another piece today and it looks good. Will reprint the one in the picture now and see how it turns out in 14 hours, but I assume it’s going to be good also. 👍
