3D printers are great at producing rough structures.

Still, one of the important parts of their success is their ability to recreate fine details.

Thankfully, this can normally be resolved by making a few adjustments.

In 3D printing, low resolution means a high layer height.

One thing to keep in mind is that you also increase print times as you reduce layer height.

Similarly, the nozzle size also limits the level of fine detail that you’re free to recreate.

Here you have to balance the level of detail vs. calibration.

To be able to get good prints, its important to maintain your 3D printer.

As with any machine, it needs maintenance.

In this case, you gotta check that theres no friction triggered by misaligned rods or loose belts.

You also need to keep the inside of the nozzle clean.

Blockages or carbonized filament can also result in reduced quality prints.

Reducing the print speed can help to eliminate errors.

If youre going for a high-resolution print, its worth making sure youre using good materials.

Finally, check that that your print platform is level.

An unlevel print bed can cause many issues, all of which will worsen in a particularly high-resolution print.
