Random nits on surface

I am trying to print this file, but Cura is adding little "nits".  Simplify3D does not do this with the same STL.  How can I correct this?

 

The model has a raised logo - you can see text at the bottom, and then little dots below randomly - those should not be there.

 

I've tried many settings relating to surface, but none really seem to fit the issue.

    You didn't save it as a project, so I don't quite know with what settings you actually sliced it with.


    I think you need to enable "print thin walls", since the letters below the logo are pretty thin.

    The horses legs and the lower text are so narrow that slicing is problematic.

    Here is Cura 4.10 using the project file.  I changed the line width to .35 and enabled Print Thin Lines.  It is better but there are still discontinuities.

    Here is what I got with PrusaSlicer with Detect Thin Walls enabled and all line widths at .35.  This looks much like the 4.10 preview as the legs and lower lettering are incomplete.

    This is with Cura Arachne (which I think is the best slicer choice).  This is with a .3 nozzle at .28 line width.  I thought it looked pretty good.

    Your current setup has horizontal expansion at -.02.  That is part of the problem as the legs and lower letters get even thinner.

    Using Arachne with .2 nozzle and .2 line width and horizontal expansion at +.01 finally looks very acceptable in Preview and the print time isn't too bad at 3hr15min.  I know it has doubled the print time but fine lettering (and horses legs) are tough to get right.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
