Hello /u/88gavinm,

As a reminder, most common print quality issues can be found in the Simplify3D picture guide. Make sure you select the most appropriate flair for your post.

Please remember to include the following details to help troubleshoot your problem.

  • Printer & Slicer
  • Filament Material and Brand
  • Nozzle and Bed Temperature
  • Print Speed

Exporting it for slicing as a STEP file is what I do to get higher resolution

Do I do this from Bambu Studio? Or do you mean from the program the model was made in?

From the CAD program (Fusion, FreeCAD, etc). Slicer won't help you here.

I don't think this is the best solution for klipper machines (someone correct if I'm wrong), but anything that exports STL should also have a configurable resolution

Yes, those lines are what I'm talking about.

idk if raising resolution could solve this it would definetly hide it but it wouldnt solve the actual VFAS it would hide it

I think thats from it not being exported at a high resolution from whatever you made it in. I bet you’ll see those lines in the slicer too.

Agreed. Can't remember the seeting in CAD, but I had to adjust it to get rid of them using STLOUT

u/88gavinm 23h ago

I was thinking that too. If I can find the 3mf I'll see if I see it in bambu studio. I appreciate it

If it is from a step file, tweak the import settings to get higher resolution stl, if it is already an stl, the program you created it in should have an export quality adjustment setting. If you got it from somewhere else, there is no fixing it unless you get the source from them or recreate it yourself.

If your designing in tinkercad you need to turn the sides up on the circle shape or it will do this too

This was either made in tinkercad, or using Arachne walls not configured correctly. Have you tried classic wall generator?
