Small Details Lost After Slicing

I have a castle that I am currently printing and I believe its going to fail at the top now that I look closer at the slicing towords the top.

Some fine details are not even going to print and I am not sure how I can fix in S3D so that they do.

Here is before its sliced: Image

and after Image

you can easily see where details are not going to print.

Re: Small Details Lost After Slicing

The best you're going to be able to do is downgrade to as small a nozzle as you can get.

See this mega-thread for an explanation as to why S3D will NOT print the details you are missing:

I don't like having to say this....but the only other alternative will be to use another slicer.

Re: Small Details Lost After Slicing

I've printed small parts like this before by following the instructions here:
https://www.simplify3d.com/support/prin ... ng-printed

It explains what's happening and how to work around it. I've gotten good results adjusting the extrusion width, and also setting the horizontal size compension on the Other tab to something like +0.2mm to automatically thicken up the entire part. So maybe some of those ideas will work.
