A simple 3dprint texture, basically the lines that are created when printing… I use a 0.8mm Nozzle and use the lines as a texture on my printouts and it looks great! it would be really nice to be able to create Images that replicate this type of finish… I can include pic if that helps… Peter ---

Ho Peter, First: why didn’t you folow the predefined form for feature-requests? (It was there when you started this post in this category!) Second: If you want to add textures to your 3D-Prints you may do that while slicing (for instance with IdeaMaker: [ideaMaker New Texture Feature - ideaMaker 4.1.0 Available to Download! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDOO1gUXfoI) ) I won’t drop my CAD-Performance with that, to be honest! AND: there are features that a majority of users is waiting for, as assembies, components, bills of materials, drawings with sections… etc. ect… A 3D-Print-Texture has to be priority 10+… so the shortest way for you towards that feature is the existing feature of a existing Slicer. I hope that works out for you. Cheers Matt
