I’m definitely not a printing expert but it looks like you’re under extruding, is the extruder the same size as the old one or is there some other change like that? I say this because the bottom layers look better than the higher ones, from memory cura over extrudes for the first few layers to help with bed adhesion.

Oh yeah definitely, Starship troopers is a huge influence to both, I don’t disagree at all, the Starship troopers games seem to be a bit more serious and gritty in comparison to edf though. I’d say the gameplay in helldivers is very EDF also with the huge big swarms and over the top weapons.

The actual answer is that everyone should play Earth Defence Force (they just announced EDF 6), which I feel was a big inspiration for helldivers 2 bugs.
