Why might a printed object have visible layer lines after printing?

AThe 3D model was not designed properly

BThe layer height setting in the slicer was too large

CThe printer ran out of filament mid-print

DThe post-processing was done too early

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand causes of visible layer lines
Large layer height settings create more visible lines on prints. Design issues don't cause layer lines; filament shortage causes print failure; post-processing timing doesn't cause lines.
Final Answer:
The layer height setting in the slicer was too large -> Option B
Quick Check:
Visible layers = Large layer height [OK]

Quick Trick: Smaller layer height means smoother prints [OK]
