Issues in printing standing coin-like structure
Hi, I am using Prusa i3 MK3 and PETG. Whenever I print structures with a standing coin-like end, I have two issues: 1. The lower half of the edge is not symmetrical to the upper half. i.e. While the upper half is circular, the lower half is not. It is like somebody ate a small piece of it. 2. The edge of the lower half that is on the support are rugged rather than smooth like the upper half. Is there any way that I can resolve these two issues?

Yes that's right. Sorry supports will get you a part, but not a nice neat clean part.
With S3D supports you can move them closer to the part and add additional supports the the problem area.. Can you rotate the part and print it flat ?

S3D is the slicer Simplified 3D and I would not suggest buying it.. the current version is full of bugs and the results would be similar.
Try printing more than one or the same design at once so the area can cool down more and see if that improves.
