<p>Printer: Elegoo Mars 3 LCD Resin printer</p>
<p>The letter height is about 3 mm.</p>
<p>I engraved a word (text) on the side of a cylinder (which is about 14 mm in diameter and 4 mm in height).  I am not sure about the exact depth of the engraving (but should be about 0.5 mm but that's not important).</p>
<p>The text is easily readable and, at first glance, appears to have come out perfectly.
On second sight, however, the problem becomes obvious: The 3D printer didn't print the style of the font correctly (it's less <strong>bold</strong> than the font style chosen for the text and that's visible in Blender and Chitubox files).</p>
<p>Is that just what I have to accept or is there any way to improve on the result?</p>
