AI Help

Hello! The circles you are seeing on your prints are likely caused by inconsistent extrusion or under extrusion. This could be due to a clogged nozzle, improperly calibrated extruder, or incorrect slicing settings. I recommend checking and cleaning your nozzle, calibrating your extruder steps per millimeter, and ensuring your slicing software settings are accurate. This should help improve the quality of your prints.

or maybe your layers are too thick

These are your layers and are expected

You can hide these ones a bit by choosing a smaller layer height or using adaptive layer height.

I am using 0.2mm layer heights how much should i lower it by

[modest glen]

0.12mm is probably the lowest you can go with a 0.4mm nozzle.

if you want higher quality, you'll need a small diameter nozzle.

or you know, some sand paper could take care of it maybe

[inland spear]

0.08 mm is the "lowest useable" layerheight, you can do that with any nozzle.
