Embossed text/logos without cutting into final layer below them?
When printing these logo badges angle lines appear on the top of the print that are being formed due to the lettering being slightly depressed into the final layers. Is there a way to override/change this so the lettering prints on the top surface without any debossing done in the slicing process?

We need more background - a picture might help. Is this for multicolour printing or same-colour embossing/bas relief?
Cheerio,

I'm doing multicolor prints of these badges as shown in this pic. I think you can see the artifacts/diagonal lines in the silver badge behind the lettering.
OK, picture has shown up now ... that looks like a miscalculation of layer depth. Did you remember to allow for your first layer (often) not being the same thickness as the later layers? When designing this sort of thing you must have the intended layer thickness in mind.
Attached is a .zip containing two files that illustrate the method; load them together as parts and assign different extruders to each. IF printed with 0.2mm layers and a 0.2mm first layer it will lay down text exactly two layers thick.
Cheerio,
