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…

This post makes me feel very old

Janeway made the right choice with Tuvix. It might have been murder but the alternative was double murder

you say that like Trek was never known for killing off side characters lol

Generations was a “passing the torch” movie - it was an ending for the TOS crew, passing the movie torch to the TNG crew, and making way for a wide screen Enterprise as well. I guess you could say it was a botched second ending for Kirk though, that would be fair

It’s definitely not the strongest Trek movie but it’s also technically an odd-numbered film (being the seventh) so it makes sense that it’s not as good as it could have been

That said, isn’t the Picard ending #3 already? All Good Things was ending 1, Nemesis was ending 2, Picard is now ending 3, so another movie would be a fourth?

If it never works out I’ll live, it would be neat if it happens eventually though :D

I am confused by the choice to have the Klingons look like the redesign. This is TOS era so surely they should look like TOS era Klingons, no?

In the DS9 episode “Trials and Tribble-ations” some of the cast time travel into the (legendary) TOS episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” and when asked why the Klingons from that era look different Worf only says “we don’t talk about it”

SNW takes place a number of years before that TOS episode, so perhaps we will learn what happens sometime in the future as SNW gets closer and closer to the start of TOS

Interesting! I’ve played a bit of New Horizons and it’s amazing, if New Civilizations is even better I’ll definitely have to check that out
