I accidentally printed a TFA Millennium Falcon dish with a thicker layer height than I normally use and didn't realize it until I had mailed it to the buyer (whoopsie!) because other stuff I was prepping to print was taking far less estimated print time than I'm used to so I checked my settings and figured out that I screwed up my last print. So I reprinted the item in the correct layer height and then printed another one in the thicker layer height just to see how much detail is lost as a result of using thicker layers. I assume the version on the right is pretty much what I shipped to my buyer originally. The buyer will now be receiving the corrected print on the left at 0.1mm layer height, but I thought some people might like to see what a difference it makes when a seller skimps on layer height resolution to save on print time. So, here are some comparison pics:
Same printer, same nozzle, same filament, same model, same support settings. The only difference was layer height and about twice as much printer time to get the results on the left.
It's hard to tell much of a difference in some areas, but in others the 0.2mm layer height print's finer details almost look out of focus even though it's on the same focal plane as the 0.1mm layer height print. In some views you can see distinct "stair stepping" on the mounting bracket arms on the 0.2mm print. Print lines are more visible in the 0.2mm print. From 10 feet away, they're pretty interchangeable, sure. Get up close though, and you really need to spend the extra print time on the thinner layers.
