Well, it's a pig. Two halves is more efficient, but it just doesn't hit quite right. Printing with supports in the board cavity is probably better in the end. I'll run another one tomorrow for comparison.

OINK!
What slicer are you using?
Have you tuned your flow rate?
Prusaslicer. Flow is good, it's just doing thick layers on a curved surface, so the seam is big. I'm working on angles now and maybe going to try randomizing the seam to keep it aesthetically clean. I can paint it on where I want it, also, if I get desperate. If I get a good clean print, I'll do one with thinner layers for a final version. It's probably a 6 hour print with thinner layers, so the testing will take a minute.
I think it's just exaggerated on this. Most stuff is super clean. These layers be THICC.
That makes sense. I like thick layers and I cannot lie.
I also prefer a .6mm nozzle and printing line widths of .66mm.
I tend to always print line widths 10% wider than the nozzle size. I found this to be one of the best things to help with layer adhesion on pretty much any print, and can actually help with wall consistency. (T
hough this can depend on the nozzle geometry, as some nozzles are wider than others and prefer a different line with than just a simple 10% factor.)
This printed with basically the same settings as the pig. Came out pretty smooth other than some corner ghosts. I need to check the line width.
That's certainly good to very good!
Fun fact: that took FOR. EH. VER. to print. Tall and skinny sucks hard. It did work up nice for the essentially draft settings, though. That Prusa Mini does a fine job on most stuff without a lot of tweaking.
