AI Summary

This video tests Z Anti-Aliasing (ZAA), a new slicing technique that reduces the visible stair-stepping effect on FDM 3D prints by making tiny Z-height adjustments during printing, requiring no special hardware. Using real surface roughness measurements with a Mitutoyo Surftest SJ-220, the creator evaluates how much smoother prints get across different angles and geometries, revealing where ZAA works best and where its current limitations lie.

Description

Discover pocket-sized precision for yourself with the Surftest SJ-220 here: https://mitutoyo.eu/product-highlights/sj-220 In this video, I test Z Anti-Aliasing, a new slicing technique related to non-planar printing that dramatically reduces stair-stepping on FDM prints by making tiny Z-height adjustments โ€” no special hardware required. Using real surface roughness measurements, weโ€™ll see how much smoother prints get, where ZAA works best, and what its current limits are. Check out our *CNC Ki

Could you explore the topic of pellet printing instead of filament?

This is cool but imo I feel like you could design the part differently. Always remember design for manufacturing
