Its good enough within the limits of 0.4 nozzle/etc. easy enough to tidy
it up.

Scale up the model? I want to print it at the small size I anticipate needing to

Terry:
You cannot realistically print an object of this size with this level of
detail on a regular FDM printer. If you used an 0.1 mm nozzle, maybe,
but this kind of object is best printed on a resin printer, that can
handle the details required

I'm sorry - I was sloppy with my original test and missed the missing
#4. In retesting I had to go to 160% to get it all. Seems the post
mentioning size was correct. I suspect a little bolder font might work
in the original size. Current lines are a bit too thin.
My PrusaSlicer settings are the standard supplied for the Prusa Mini.

Going bold helped a bit - worked at 140%. You might try other fonts.
Here is what I just used:
text("#4", 4, font="Bitstream Charter:style=Bold");

Thanks Ray. No problem, in fact I'm relieved that it's not down to me or my
settings.
I'll try that and other fonts and styles. I was thinking of changing to a
bolder one anyway, once I'd established the basics.
The 175 mm panel with two rows of 5 labels, and allowing say 15 mm at the
edges, I reckon on 29 mm per label. Not a lot, but they will mostly be
short abbreviations.

Thanks for staying the course, that’s a good result, albeit intriguing. My best guess would be something else in your settings accounts for it. Is there away for us to exchange all settings and do a compare? Unless you can narrow it down to a few more that I’ll then check.

I'll just note that doing text, particularly small or fancy fonts with thin bits
can be problematic with printing services like Shapeways.
I've had to add tiny cylinders or tall cubes to individual parts of letters for the model to be accepted. The issues are different for embossed v's extruded too.
In the end, it really needs to be important for me to try that again.

It’s certainly turning out a bit more of a challenge than I anticipated. But not about to dust off my remnants of Letraset! Decades ago that was my go-to project labelling method. Tedious but gave reaonably attractive results.
