Im sorry I haven't responded, and I can't lie, I forgot to say that I found another model that was the same basically but solid so I just used that, but thanks for all the help regardless, I can show the final thing when I've finished making it if you want

Thanks to both of you for looking at this, good to see you slashee and Greg, now I have a confession... I was trying to get help from the people here that isn't ultimate related. I know, I'm a criminal, but from my experience, this is the best place for anything 3d printed/model related. If you guys haven't left yet and are willing to help, great. Now the reason I was making this is pretty goofy, are you aware of those lighters with a long like part so you don't burn yourself? Me and my brother thought it looked like a luger pistol, ngl I am British so I do kinda of share your fear slashee but it's a bit more lenient if you keep it in your house of course. Finally the problem. I measured the case for the lighter and made it in blender (I hope you know blender), I got a model of the luger off the internet, and realised the detail in it, now when I apply a Boolean modifier to the luger and part of the gun disappeared but not the part I needed, I assumed that was because of the detail of it so it wasn't all one solid model. If you want to know how this looks kinda, here is the Reddit post I made (already not as helpful as here) https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/s/dzUs0n7uI0 You'll kinda see what I mean hopefully. If you are up for it, respond and I'll give you the file with the 2 parts.

so i need someone who is skilled enough to basically fill in the guts of a model. after a good amount of trial and error i found out a model i am making needs to be filled in to be sliced and printed right, as the model i got is very high definition and is very accurate so as a result if someone is able to scoop all the guts out of a model and give it back it would be greatly apricated, if it is easy enough. very accurate luger needs guts filled in.obj

I noticed that my print (whilst trying to find the right z offset) was doing this weird thing were the filament was being like pushed through, them fizzled out then more pushed through, look here, I know there's a lot wrong in this picture but if you focus on the centre parts you will see what I'm talking about. It's not printing a line evenly, but also it does it consistently, why is does it do this?

I'm still a bit inexperienced with setting the z offset, the bed is self leveling. I'll do some more testing

I noticed spotty bed adhesion of the first layer, could that be doing it, also why is that happening like imagine parts lifting up making it more opaque, my solution so far is upping the bed temp to 70 but that has just started being required. Could both be connected. Anyway why is that happening, fixing one problem at a time lol. Kinda like this picture, I might be able to get a better one if needed.

i mean the first one is perfect id say, i mean that's my point, the second and third picture still have the quality of the original in those places which is not as great. my wonder is should i change the "support roof flow" for those parts as its the extrusion in those parts which are bad.

I have realise that when printing large flat surfaces on supports it off gains this texture, at least since I started with my new printer, here is a print I did the day I got my printer, and here is also how this one turned out. (First is old, second and third is new) so there Is a slight difference, but I think that is a consequence of printing flat on supports, idk I could be completely wrong, I am going to check if I have a partial clog when I print the second half and if that comes out differently then I will say.

okay so i printed it with slower speed and it was far better, the different orientation helped more though i think but i still ran into the same problem of the parts that were completely printed on supports had the same under extrusion were the rest was fine the problem i seem to have found and now can identify is printing on supports. so as thats now narrowed it down slightly more... I'm still confused on why printing on supports has caused the problem

here is the file for anyone curious. you can tell me otherwise if I'm wrong (probably am) but i feel this a printer or printer speed issue. if anyone has any good test prints to isolate the problem would be greatly appreciated main body 2.3mf

I just checked back on this, thanks for all the suggestions, I will have to try them but it's kinda late right now where I live so will try them tomorrow, But if anyone is curious, the thing that confuses me is that they are the same print just taken from different pictures, the top one is facing up like I said and the second was printing practically completely onto supports. I also will give a little background info, the printer is a month old (I think you can guess why) so I doubt it's to do with wear and tear of the printer, and on cura it automatically set the speed to the fastest it could go so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the problem. I can link the file, but I'm there would be little wrong with the model or at least little I could do with it as I downloaded online and printed it. I feel like a right idiot though since I don't know why I chose such an odd way to print it when the other side faces down is clearly better. Anyway I can check back on this after testing some suggestions

For the record the second one was the one that printed on supports and I have absolutely no idea why it's happening especially when printing on supports so it's not to do with bed adhesion l, if anyone would help that would be great (ender 3 v3 se, but general advice would be applicable)
