Could well be, there is a texture on the print surface. Its not an issue for me TBH, I was just curious as to if it was a setting issue or not.
I have to say, so far, I am very pleased with the printer, but I really do need to re-learn a proper cad program, I am already finding limitations to some things with Tinkercad. ATM though it'll do until I can find something I get on with and have time to learn it.
I used to work with CAD/CAM for office furniture way back, but I have forgotten it all now Bigsmile

Lots of options out there, including some great free ones.
I like Fusion 360, and use the hobbyist license, which is free.
I've seen some really impressive things done with TinkerCAD, but I don't like the way it works much. I think that kind of modeling works for some people while traditional CAD does not... and vice versa. :)

Fusion 360 is available free for non commercial use which limits you to 10 editable files, you can easily overcome what seems like a limitation by just keeping your current working files editable, you can switch editing on and off at will.

...Fusion 360 is an Autodesk product

Cheers guys, I'll look into Fusion 360 Thumbup

Edit: Looks like its changed now, only a 30 day free trail for free.

Keep delving, try a Google search for F360 for hobbyists.
