Circle Quality (by Walter)
I have a very small cylinder (diameter 9mm). After exporting to STL, the circle quality is not very good (see screnshot). How can I improve the quality and make the roundings more round

On the configuration screen, set the export chord tolerance to a smaller value. This is interpreted as the maximum distance the triangle mesh is allowed to deviate from the ideal curve.

I checked the reference manual and this is not mentioned in the Export section, but is a little further down. We might want to mention it under exporting stl.
