Hi all,
I am attempting to print a cylindrical object that has numbers and tick marks engraved around the circumference; however, whenever I am done printing I get these vertical lines along the circumference of the print as well (not the z seam). It also appears as if the numbers are having a weird ghosting, or aura effect that appears around them. It wasn't so noticeable on my first print, and I thought it might have been poor resolution since the details were so small, but when I increased the size, the effects got drastically worse.
I've attached some images to illustrate what I mean by the ghosting/aura and the vertical lines. If you look closely at the bigger font pictures, you'll notice that the numbers seem to "extend and fade" away from themselves in the surrounding print and that's what I'm referring to as "aura". I also included the z seam off to the side in one of the pictures so I could show that's NOT the vertical line that I'm concerned about.
Any help or suggestions would be great. I am thinking about inverting them and having them be extruding rather than engraved.
A bit of additional information: I am using Cura 5.6.0, the designs were made using Onshape.
KJ mod is the bigger print one while part studio is the smaller print one.
