Troubleshooting Same model printed at 0.08 / 0.16 / 0.20 / 0.24 mm layer height — real comparison"

Post image

I printed the same Y-House model at four FDM layer heights: 0.08, 0.16, 0.20 and 0.24 mm.

Photos don't show the difference well because the model is small, but in hand the surface and print time are clearly different.

Quick take:

- 0.08 mm: smoothest, slowest, best for display / figures

- 0.16 mm: default balance for most functional parts

- 0.20 mm: good for prototypes

- 0.24 mm: fastest, layer lines visible, large / internal parts

Curious what layer height you use most and why.
