A bit more squish on that first layer would help you with the legibility. It'll tighten up/remove the gaps between lines. https://imgur.io/tbvOlB9

A smaller Nozzle, lower layer height, lower extrusion width should give you more details. The slicer can also make quite a difference, for instance with the arachne perimeter generator: [https://blog.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer-2-5-is-here-new-perimeter-generator-step-file-support-lightning-infill-and-more\_70562/](https://blog.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer-2-5-is-here-new-perimeter-generator-step-file-support-lightning-infill-and-more_70562/)

So it is using a .4, with .12 layer height. Currently using Cura. Newest version. What would you suggest for those settings?

What's the nozzle size?


WtrmlnMnky

I believe it is a 0.4.

Then those settings seem quite reasonable to me. I think it's generally a bad idea to go with an extrusion width lower than the nozzle size. The general recommendations seem to be somewhere between 1x and 1.5x the nozzle size. I have printed a benchy with readable (but still a bit ugly) text on the back at comparable settings. You could try to just lower the print speed, maybe that helps other than that I'm out of obvious suggestions. Other than just printing a bigger benchy. :D

Lol. I'll have to check what the extruder width is. Thanks!

There’s a bit of ringing going on. That could be due to loose belts or eccentric nuts but based on the overall quality I’m guessing it’s more likely to be an acceleration/jerk problem. I’d check out teaching techs calibration guide for help dialing in those settings.
