Comment on Why does my overhang/bridge look so bad? Isn't this small enough to be done better?

  It looks to me like that’s not a flat area. That’s why it’s not using parallel lines. If you want good bridging it must be flat.

    This is the answer.

    Alternatively, use supports.

  I would go back to your CAD model and tweak it for better printability. If it was a model you downloaded and without a source CAD model I would just remodel it myself to be more printable.

  See if you can change the number of bottom layers or the bottom layer pattern to get a different result.

  Honestly, I just keep changing all sorts of settings until it does what I want. Sometimes even layer height can affect bridge behaviour.

  But first thing I’d do is to rotate the piece by 90° and see if the thin bridges that you can see behind the thick curved ones, change their orientation to be short instead of long.
