Why 3D Prints Look Rough (And How STEP Files Will Change Everything)

🎯 The truth about 3D printing that nobody talks about! From GM's early SLA parts in the 90s to today's breakthrough with STEP file slicing - discover why your prints have that faceted look and what's coming next.

🔧 What You'll Learn:

Why STL files create rough surfaces (hint: it's all triangles!)
The game-changing shift from STL to STEP file slicing
Design mistakes that kill your prints before they start
Real examples with tolerance comparisons (1mm vs 0.001mm)

⚠️ Stop designing like you're machining! Learn proper design-for-printing principles that pros use to avoid weak spots and failures.
