Re: Defect on small feature
so the single remaining thread will be infill Ah, I see, good to know. I was wondering how it would accommodate for a continuous value of layer widths, makes sense. As far as the 0.25 mm nozzle, is there a particular type of resin that is better (least impurities) that you've had experience with? I...

I printed a fender vertically and it seems to have some defects at the top end (see Figure 1). I can only assume that this is a t...
