Quality issues

Printer quality is measured in microns (micrometres) – the lower the number, the higher the quality of the object you’re printing. Think of microns as pixels on your mobile phone’s screen – smaller microns produce a ‘higher resolution’ object, with smoother surfaces.

While most consumer 3D printers can print in resolutions up to 100 microns, around 0.1mm ‘pixels’, prints of this quality take a lot of time – so the default ‘quick print’ settings are around 400 microns. Printing a small figurine or keyring can take anywhere between 20 minutes to an…
