Running some test prints on keycaps using some different fonts, the group on the left(top) was done first with .4mm depth and the right(bottom) was done with a 2mm depth, the colors came out much more vibrant without the black blending in.

This first set of caps printed for real off my new https://caps.waylonwalker.com app came out really well, I can tell the legend cut is not deep enough and the two colors are mixing too much. I'm actually surprised at how much I like the thinner sets better than the thicker sets, I thought thicker would have done better prints.

No raft straight on the bed with a .4mm sink into the plate stuck really well, none fell off mid print. I've strugged to get grids of caps to print well in the past.
