tbh if you printed in plain PLA you would probably see the same flaws. I don’t think you missed anything in particular. You might be able to clean up the “stalactites” (for lack of a better word) by tweaking retraction but otherwise this is pretty much just what you get when you print with details on the top layers, especially with a big nozzle

Try arachne perimeter generator Try a smaller nozzle - 0.8 is pretty big and the size of this orifice is your primary limiting factor on X/Y detail. You should be able to print wood down to at least 0.4 Try a finer layer height (may need to use a smaller nozzle to make this work)

Honestly the print looks quite clean overall, this is kinda just what you get when you print with details on the top layer. Your best bet might be to change the orientation of the part to put more of the detail along the Z axis

ABL works best when the bed is relatively planar and tram though, it can only do so much…

the thing about Enterprise is even at its worst, it’s not an entirely bad show - the supporting cast is good, they are set in an interesting time period, and the premise is ostensibly interesting.

The main problem for me is that, setting aside the fact that the main theme comes straight from the Patch Adams soundtrack, the show is straight up boring. They came so close to something really interesting with Archer being flawed because he was the first, and perhaps even not really the right guy to be captain. But then the writers had to make him a mary sue, he fails is way to success every episode, and becomes like the ship’s alcoholic dad, constantly getting into the dumbest yelling arguments with his wife first officer — who he is also canonically racist against by the way. You would think/hope they were setting him up for some growth on that, but, instead they chose to try to make a lot of the show indirectly relevant to 9/11

By the time the show finally set the stage to become interesting the majority of its audience had already been alienated

What Paramount ought to realize about it is that Enterprise failed because of the writers and producers and not because of the cast or setting and it should not be very difficult to do significantly better than the original

It feels unfair to all those people to put a kid on the bridge instead of an adult in the middle of their career.

It’s partially a testament to what a prodigy he’s supposed to be, but it’s also an artifact of Picard’s friendship with his mother and late father, and a soft character progression for both of them because up to that point no children were allowed on the bridge with him at all

Trek fans in that era got hung up on some weird stuff for sure. I knew several people who hated Neelix for basically the entire Voyager run mainly because of that one early episode where he acted jealously even though he got over it by the end of the episode lol
