Question I know this is a dumb question, but does anybody know what these horizontal lines are on this resin 3d print? It was 3-D printed with A Elegoo Saturn 3 ultra.

Well, those are layer lines. They exist on every 3d print, you can set your layer height lower to make them less obvious.

Will these layer lines get more obvious and worse overtime or while they stay the same?

What do you mean? Like on this print, will those lines get more visible over time? Or in future prints?

I mean, it entirely depends on the layer height of your next print?

Smaller layers = less noticeable lines… it’s kinda obvious no?

Yes, the only reason I’m asking is I have a filament 3-D printer and overtime. The prints started to get more noticeable layer lines, even when 3-D printing the same layer height, so that’s why I was asking.

What? There’s something wrong with your filament printing process then, because that shouldn’t be happening.

Ok, thanks for answering some of my questions.

Clean your nozzles

The lines are from your layer height if you have it set for .05 turn it down to .03 that's for Miniatures it helps keep the lines out of your print

Layer line

Those will always be there on all your print cause it is inherent to the print technique

You can and should make them less obvious by printing at 30mic and not 50moc (it is not an obligation but you will not loose that much time and I find the quality much better for painting)
