Hi Michael,
Thanks for the info. I'll try it out in a bit. I think I was just cranking it all the way up to try and acheive "smooth". It's a "Reel part" for setting drag. Wanted to try a test with them to see if the new stainless steel was drillable/machinable.

My brother also suggested scaling up by the "faceted value" then just running a finish pass on the resulting part to smooth it! This could save a bunch of time in "roughing".

Worst case is we can just make some cool "trinket stuff".

I suppose there's a bit to learn with the trial and error. I had seen philbo do his rocketeer I think with shapeways. I just need to go through the process to learn how to get the best results. This will be good for me to learn a bit more about meshing my data.

Thanks again for the advice.
