Musk will be fine. He holds Trump by the balls because SpaceX holds the United States by the balls.
You're totally wrong about that. I think it's makeup powder, not spray-on.
It must be great to be so rich you can spend your life obsessing about bullying others - be it sonsabitches GOP congresscritters and senators or Musk - rather than worry about keeping your job, paying the bills and making ends meet.
As far as I'm concerned, they can all die a painful death and I wouldn't give the tiniest shit.
Someone should setup a Gofundme so We The People can pay the hackers to release the goodies. Criminals though they are, they're probably less terrible human beings than the orange utan in the White House or any of his henchmen. I'd pitch in...
Tarantulas are insects ferchrissake... They have the nervous system of a guitar amplifier.
I'm not condemning anything or anybody. There are plenty of good Americans in Trump's Nazi America like there were plenty of good Germans in Hitler's Nazi Germany. But good minorities in fascist countries don't make those countries any less fascist.
Wow, I didn't realize Bezos' new wife was that trashy. She's a walking warning against the excesses of cosmetic surgery.
Then again, his husband isn't much of a looker either. If he wasn't megarich, he'd probably be single.

So I played with all kinds of settings in PrusaSlicer. Nothing changed anything.
The only things that did improve the outcome some was:
-
Forcing the letters to be printed first: then the letters are smooshed and bleed into the background instead of the other way round, which arguably looks better / more legible. Nothing to write home about though.
-
Dropping the first layer's height to 0.1mm (the other layers are 0.2mm high): that improves the letters a bit.
-
Dropping the first layer's height to 0.05mm: because the first layer is so thin, it becomes kind of translucent and the wider white letter beneath it sort of show through. The net result is that it drops a kind of gaussian blur onto the lettering, which actually improves them - especially at a distance.
Other than that, there's just nothing for it. And half of the suggestions I got concern other slicers, and I couldn't find them or equivalents in PrusaSlicer. Oh well...
I guess that's as good as it's gonna get.
I'm printing those little cable pull tabs on our Prusa XL printer. In the models, I added markings to identify the type of cable, printed directly into the tabs with a different color PLA loaded on head #2.
The problem I have, as you can see, is that the white letters are "overrun" by the back surroundings.
I have to print those parts face down: when the first layer is laid down onto the bed, the black surrounding is printed first with head #1, leaving empty space for the symbols, then head #2 comes in and fill in the spaces after the head change:
The problem apparently is that the black material gets "smooshed out" on the bed and partly fills in the void, and then the white PLA doesn't have enough space to make nice, sharp letters.
It wouldn't be a big problem with larger letters: they would just look like they have fuzzy edges. But those letters are 3.5mm in height and only two 0.4mm-wide lines at the most, so it's basically all fuzziness.
It doesn't happen when I print face up. But then I have to have support for the tabs' walls, and since I print those things by the hundreds, I'm really not keep on having to remove support on hundreds of tiny parts. So it's not an option.
I tried printing slower but it doesn't change much of anything. Not to mention, again, I have to print those things as fast as possible to print as many as possible overnight.
And of course I can't increase the size of the letters: they're as big as the tabs' size will allow.
The letters are readable enough, but they don't really look great. Is there any trick to reduce or eliminate this? I was thinking of trying to print the white first with head #2, then the black with head #1, but I can't find an option in Prusa Slicer to invert the order in which the heads are used.
