Hey everyone,
I'm working on a coupler section for my rocket made of 3d printed ABS plastic coated with epoxy resin. The 3D printer I have access to uses dxf files and converts them to gcode (I think?), and the result is that round objects like circles and splines have a blocky, angular surface. I used Solidworks to make the model, and I'm pretty sure that's the cause of the low print quality. Something similar happens when I try and laser cut dxf files made in solidworks, like it converts splines and circles into low resolution polylines. Anyone know how to fix this?
I know for a fact the 3d printer is perfectly capable of printing smooth curves.
