See original problem here

So I played with all kinds of settings in PrusaSlicer. Nothing changed anything.

The only things that did improve the outcome some was:

  • Forcing the letters to be printed first: then the letters are smooshed and bleed into the background instead of the other way round, which arguably looks better / more legible. Nothing to write home about though.

  • Dropping the first layer’s height to 0.1mm (the other layers are 0.2mm high): that improves the letters a bit.

  • Dropping the first layer’s height to 0.05mm: because the first layer is so thin, it becomes kind of translucent and the wider white letter beneath it sort of show through. The net result is that it drops a kind of gaussian blur onto the lettering, which actually improves them - especially at a distance.

Other than that, there’s just nothing for it. And half of the suggestions I got concern other slicers, and I couldn’t find them or equivalents in PrusaSlicer. Oh well…

I guess that’s as good as it’s gonna get.

    A 0.2mm nozzle would certainly improve things. But it would also make printing those tabs unbearably long.

    Longer than its been taking to solve this issue without it? Just bite the bullet and get the results you want.
