How To Get Smoother 3D Prints | Slicer Settings And More Tips

Want smoother 3D prints without spending hours sanding and finishing them? In this video, I’m testing 10 slicer settings and techniques that can dramatically improve 3D print surface quality—right off the printer. I’ll show you how to get smoother sides, top and bottom surfaces, angled surfaces, supports, and seams using real prints, including a Lightning McQueen car, dome, and dice.
