AI Help

Of course, I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot the issues with your 3D prints. Could you please provide some more details about the imperfections you're experiencing? Additionally, if you can share any relevant information about your printer model, filament type, and slicer settings, it would greatly assist in diagnosing the problem.

This model is a 40 x 40 x 200 mm tower that will help you visualize the quality of your layers in the Z axis.
There are raised letters at the base to show the X and Y axis.
It is easy to resize in your slicer if you need it shorter or longer.
Print this in vase mode with a couple of bottom layers. A brim is not necessary, but it may help if ...

It'll make it clear it's Z, and then, You just need to check out your printers calibration info for Z, and if the defects continue to bother you, there are various tools/kits out there to help reduce z wobble.
