You can set text as a modifier in Orca - eviltoast

So I set this text to change the bottom layer to concentric only for the text and I got this. I had this large flat area in my print and decided to spice it up a bit for fun without doing multicolor which would be 1, too annoying to do manually and 2, too visible for this part that needs to be all black. So here I have a nice DON’T PANIC on the back of it.

    People accept different qualities I guess, if you’re satisfied and it works then there’s no reason to change things. I would say there’s significantly more things that need tuning than just z offset.

        With a result like yours I’d honestly just start from the top of Ellis guide and follow through to the end, that should help you fix this and get a significantly better print quality. There’s likely a lot of things that are less than ideal, fixing only one or two won’t be enough.

        Just jumping in here, the first layer does look kinda shitty, at least theres a lot of room for improvement.

        Here’s a little guide to improve on a multitude of things by teaching tech.

        Cool cura feature thou :)
