So I set this text to change the bottom layer to concentric only for the text and I got this. I had this large flat area in my print and decided to spice it up a bit for fun without doing multicolor which would be 1, too annoying to do manually and 2, too visible for this part that needs to be all black. So here I have a nice DON’T PANIC on the back of it.

It really is t bad in the naked eye. I just slammed a reflection right on it. Or maybe was 0.01mm too high but I’ve seen way worse.

People accept different qualities I guess, if you're satisfied and it works then there's no reason to change things. I would say there's significantly more things that need tuning than just z offset.

Just jumping in here, the first layer does look kinda shitty, at least theres a lot of room for improvement.

Here's a little guide to improve on a multitude of things by teaching tech.

Cool cura feature thou :)

Thanks. It’s an Orca feature. Not Cura.
