Text in German only, sorry.
But take a look to the pictures, especially the vertical planes. Sometimes the vertical surfaces are very crude.
Note the "rounded" cab roof. It is a row of rectangles.
Take a look to the bonnet, this may happen to a cylindrical structure also.
Printing a boiler upright may cause a crude surface because in this case it is mainly a vertical structure.
And this open top little green critter was printed with the cheapest material. There nearly all the rivet details (0-Scale!) have vanished, better said, not printed.
