Rough edges on thinly sliced curves.

Posted · Rough edges on thinly sliced curves.

This is a new problem that started when I try to upgrade to any version above 4.13.1.  When I slice my files with thinly sliced curves I'm getting a very rough edge.  It looks like the engine in 5+ is attempting too much precision - is this a new setting?  You can see how smooth 4.13 is and 5 (I've tried all the recent versions & alphas) is super jumbled up.  Dark (bad) is v 5.2.2   Light is v 4.13.1.  Anyone have ideas?    I thought I would ask here before submitting a GitHub bug report.  

thanks

Alex

    There are settings in the Wall section that will fix much of that.  "Wall Transition Length" and "Wall Transition Angle" are two of them.  Another setting is the Line Width but you can only drop a .4 nozzle to about .35mm.  Features that come to a "feather edge" are tough.

        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.
