How to make the slice profile more refined

[jimmychou]

Hi
I have a new 3D printer this days and I am still learning how to best use it.
Finding quality a bit hit and missing,I am using PLA filaments and I have set slice profile to fine but still struggle to get a good print on fine parts such as gun turrets
Any suggestions please or links to guides for my printer

Thanks
jimmy

If you’re new to 3d printing (FDM in this case) there’s a few common things that will help your prints. First bed adhesion is key. Spend the extra time and make sure your bed is level and dial in the Z height. Plus avoid drafty rooms and think about a simple enclosure for your machine. Keeping your printed part at a uniformed temperature will save many medium or large prints.
Second, look at your extrusion settings in your slicing software. By default, most package will tell you to print at 100%. Which in my experience leads to over extruding plastic out of your printers hotend. Which leads to a loss of detail. My machines are set to 92 to 94% extrusion.
For printing my models, I generally set my layer height to 0.2mm with a perimeter of 3. While the infill is set to 15 to 20%.
good luck!!
