Layer lines printing this direction can be troublesome… try printing vertical? Or diagonal since the layer lines will show up better. Or do the plaque behind it printing as you are flat on Z-axis and print the detailed parts separate as vertical y-axis and then use wood glue to glue them on
Seems like I have ran into those before but never this bad.
I can turn it slightly as suggested but next question:
I have never gone to a larger print nozzle. I assume a loss of detail and some other issues to be expected. Is that why I am seeing this so much worse? It really seems extreme.
It can be but if you’re using a slicer with Arachne can do a great job printing smaller extrusions than your nozzle size.

That’s very interesting. I have always used Cura but will try downloading Prusa and activate that - then reprint this later.
Thanks for the link!
Cura has Arachne as well. You can read more here.
