Pretty cool indeed. Thanks for sharing. What exact filament did you use? Was it Bambu or some other?

Seems fairly decent. I always get .02 though for extra ease of mind.

Nice, what fuzzy skin settings did you use? Did you try other settings that didn’t work out?

Love seeing stuff like this, kinda obvious once you see it and changes how one does future models.

Thank you for sharing this

Didn’t try any other settings, never used the option either.
Definitely awesome for adding some depth to the surface vs the typical flat 3d printed surface. Really made the layers disappear if you look at that last photo that’s top down.

I’ve used this feature for feathers, skin types and other considered finished surfaces. It can also help mask those odd top surface finishes that aren’t exactly perfectly horizontal (curved, angled, etc ).Testing: Consider making a small simple vertical cylinder in any CAD program, import to your slicer, clone, print as objects (see how many at one time you can print) and change the values to experiment. Add a number or letter on top of your cylinder and record the objects fuzzy value you gave it to prevent “oops, which one is which”.
Once satisfied save this and all future “fuzzy” projects with a note on your new found favorite value for your fuzzy finish within the projects notes. At almost 66 it’s a life saver for me with my memory.
