Sure...my preciouuusssss will always be ready for another mod 😎
Been thinking of making a "Gudomaker by Neotko" kind of plate for my printer since most of the vital parts now comes from either @gudo or @neotko 😊🤘

Grrr, I thought I left my sweet printer in a state where I could print anything reliably. But nop. Did this in Cura 2.6.1 I believe.
First image, left medal was how I started, many scars on the top layer, and some separation between the outer wall and infill it seemed.
First image, right medal was when I changed temperature a bit down, z hop, some combing things, I can't remember what else. But no more scars, instead, the letters feel sharp.
On both the infill is super smudged out and ugly imho.

I though, I'll just revert to the old Cura I used, and import the settings from the last print I did a year ago. Nop, still ugly AF:

I lost it, being able to tweak :( Or it is just that I never printed flat surfaces :shock:

Use the neosanding / ironing feature. It's very well suited for this.

Thanks @nallath, I'll have a look. When I first saw it I thought it was to embed text in a top surface(2.7 beta topic), but reading into it more it seems like it should do the job.
Will it do all top surfaces, or just the top layer? Also, I see it has a standard setting of 20 mm/s for ironing speed, that would seriously add to the time, using a 0.1 ironing line spacing with a 0.4 nozzle.

Ah, you did find the time to implement this rather complex feature (tried it, nice), but would you also be so kind to add "shrink 1st layer" option, in order to eliminate sharp edges of the 1st layer? These bulges that normally ruin the dimension accuracy, along with other undesired effects?
Pleeease? :-D

We already did ;) FieldOfView (Aldo Hoeben) contributed this a while back.

A setting called "Initial Layer Horizontal Expansion" If you set it to a negative value, it should prevent the "elephants foot" issue.

Tried it, gave me an exception and crashed Cura. But well, that why it is called Beta, right?
Anyway, thanks for the information, will wait for the final release. Maybe, it will be finally the day when I will move to the new Cura from v15.04.6 that is currently in use.

Do you know a good, not huge, model that can be used to fine tune retraction settings?

I'm pretty happy with my S3D profiles but when I print certain retraction heavy models I tend to experience some under extrusion throughout those layers.

If there are too many retractions Coast at end will make gaps. For the font processes I don’t use coast on them nor negative retraction distance.

Ok, that was enabled in my profiles...will play with that and see what happens 🙂
