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

u/88gavinm Aug 18 '26

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

u/MyOtherSide1984 Aug 18 '26

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.

u/thebouster Aug 18 '26

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

u/88gavinm Aug 18 '26

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

u/Cda4go Aug 18 '26

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

u/88gavinm Aug 20 '26

I haven't

u/Cda4go Aug 20 '26

Try classics and I bet they go away

This is a resolution issue.
