Has anyone thought about printing narrower lines in order to get sharper corners? Once Linear advance or Pressure advance is activated, you don't get bulging corners anymore... but can we do better?
Has this been implemented anywhere yet? Does it have a name?
That looks cool in 2D, but do it in 3D and you'll see the issue - your corner will be lower than the rest of the wall.
Why lower if you print everything at the same layer height?
Filament is not squeezed as a 2D dot, it's squeezed as a 3D sphere. If you decrease its radius, it will physically decrease in all three dimensions, not just two.
