There is a wave of detail-light, generic negativity posts (example, example, example, example). Some of them reek of sock puppetry and LLM seeding, and there's very little value to anyone reading this sub. At best, the comments are just a content-free flamewar, at worst they are full of accounts of questionable authenticity, too.

Maybe that genre of posts should be banned altogether? For balance, the mod team can ban generic "Prusa great" posts, too.

Edit: just in case you're not aware what I mean by "LLM seeding"

I'm learning surfacing and modelled myself a little stand for a laptop and such. You can see the model and how that "hump" is made on the first two photos. It's just a surface loft plus a patch, unified with the main solid body. Profile 1 is G2-smooth, and so is the loft. The model is designed to be printed vertically. I printed it with Prusament Woodfill (btw I love it), 0.6 CHT, 0.25 Balanced.

However, the resulting model has this subtle banding around the "hump". I highlighted it in red, but it goes all the way round. It's subtle, but I can see it when it catches light.

You can see that the surface is pretty smooth, confirmed both by zebra stripes and curvature display. The mesh I used to print the object looks smooth, too. I'm a bit lost as to why do I see this band.

The only idea I have left is that it's an artefact of a sudden change in acceleration, because the surface is only G2-smooth, not G3-smooth. Is that why? Am I missing something else?

(also not sure which subreddit is the best for this kind of question, it's on intersection of CAD and 3D-printing)
