So I set this text to change the bottom layer to concentric only for the text and I got this. I had this large flat area in my print and decided to spice it up a bit for fun without doing multicolor which would be 1, too annoying to do manually and 2, too visible for this part that needs to be all black. So here I have a nice DON’T PANIC on the back of it.
You can set text as a layer modifier in Orca

Fun idea and it can male.a nice.touch of detail to an otherwise dull area…but holy crap that’s a bad first layer.

It isn’t that bad. Just needs a bit of z-offset adjustment.
ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Z offset like you mentioned is probably wrong, extrusion multiplier is probably wrong, extruder might be incorrectly calibrated, PA is definitely wrong. It really looks like it hasn’t received any tubing at all and this was just done with OTB defaults.

PA is also way too low (if it is even set at all). It could reduce the „thickening“ of the lines at each end dramatically.

It really is t bad in the naked eye. I just slammed a reflection right on it. Or maybe was 0.01mm too high but I’ve seen way worse.

People accep different qualities I guess, if you’re satisfied and it works then there’s no reason to change things.

I actually used this earlier myself. I also like to use the negative modifier which will “cut” the text from the part
LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I do the negative when text is on the side of the part but at the bottom this seems to be better , especially for thick bold letters.

Here’s a picture of the part assembled. DON’T PANIC
