This meant that we now had the same amount of triangles for a part one quarter the size. The original large file had 103,970 triangles, and all these triangles remained even as the size scaled down. We took a very large file - 443.13mm x 503.32mm x 434.38mm - and scaled it down to 25% of the original. Here’s what happened in this particular instance. Conversely, fewer triangles in a part means it will slice and print faster, but the curves will look more faceted.
The more triangles in a part, the smoother the curves of the surface will be, but also the larger the file size, the longer the slicing time, and the longer the build time.
