Can anyone offer insight on how to make objects print perfectly round instead of faceted?

This is a round object exported out of Autocad as a .stl

You need to output a higher resolution STL file from AutoCAD. There should be some options available.

Awesome thanks I didint know there where options...Googled it and it works nicely now.

These are the steps in case anyone might need reference.

AutoCAD:

All models exporting should be 3D body, instead of just being surface, and all the XYZ coordinates should be positive values.

Steps:

Enter command “Facetres” in command line.
Set FACETRES as a value from 1 to 10 (1 is for low resolution, and 10 is for high resolution)
Enter command “STLOUT” in command line.
Choose model to export
Select Y, and output as binary file.
Enter filename

Just an FYI, I get that with STLs downloaded from thingiverse sometimes. Seems some people aren't paying attention and exporting low res.
