Re: Good Quality Prints
It looks like the object has a bit too much plastic, which suggests that the filament diameter & extrusion multiplier aren't set quite right. In particular, the top fill looks slightly overstuffed. The default value for Infill -> Solid Infill Threshold Area is, IMO, way too high and has probably tu...

Re: Good Quality Prints
