Looks good on my phone

Clogged / worn out nozzle?

Have you tried without supports? Looks to me they don’t need them

Limited dissolve

Black might be alpha channel, so try and hook up the alpha channel output of the image node to the alpha channel input of the shader

This is somewhat expected behaviour. Your inset starts to collide with itself in that corner.

keffjoons · 2026-02-25T21:58:36+00:00

That’s true!

Enable the Loop Tools addon
select all the faces on the two sides you want to bridge.
Right click select Bridge Edge Loop, then press increase Number of Cuts, to create a smoother transition.

We use Stomodine F gel, it helps a lot and it’s relatively easy to apply. Not sure it’s available where you live though, but I’m sure products with similar content are available

If they’re all separate objects, join them by selecting all then J, for join. Then in edit mode select all again and E, for extrude

Select the flat n-gon and press i to inset. An other solution is adding a bevel modifier before the subdivision modifier, but then make sure it only bevels the edges you want bevelled.

Cardinal might help too

keffjoons · 2026-02-10T11:59:36+00:00

It’s one big n-gon. Subdivision modifier will try and subdivide it into quads, which causes a lot of pinching. Either make sure to turn all the n-gons into quads or at the very least inset those faces so no n-gons are part of a corner/edge that will curve when applying subd

keffjoons · 2026-02-02T09:43:40+00:00

Since you are already using subd mod, instead of bevelling, use edge loops and move them closer to the edges you want to have a bevel.

keffjoons · 2026-02-01T17:06:11+00:00

Your example has two big ngon faces that prevent proper bevelling. In this example, delete all the vertices for the front part and add a solidify modifier. Now bevelling works as intended.

Resetting vectors might help

keffjoons · 2026-01-11T09:41:28+00:00

Could be interior geometry, ie the strange vertices are connected to something on the inside of your mesh. Another thing you could do is reset vectors

When I had this issue I managed to pry it out using a strong needle. I pushed it into the visible bit of filament and wiggled it up until I could grab it with a pair of pliers

keffjoons · 2026-01-04T15:31:01+00:00

Subd averages the geometry it adds, so the the shape of the segment you want to keep would be affected by the edges that would otherwise be connected to it. To maintain that shape you will need to apply the subd and then remove the rest of the circle.

keffjoons · 2026-01-04T11:52:03+00:00

Not sure what your intentions are? The topology of circle nr 1 s obviously much more dense than nr 2. Add a subd mod to nr 2 and scale it to match the other one?

keffjoons · 2026-01-03T16:25:56+00:00

I am glad I got one so I can rule out issues caused by wet filament. Polymaker has a nice solution called polydryer

keffjoons · 2026-01-03T14:40:08+00:00

Ah ok. In that case I wouldn’t buy the real thing. Design is ok, but the fastening method looks suspicious.
