> No! Anycubic has only given the printer X and Y TMC2100/2208 (clone/replica) drivers, which firstly only run in legacy mode (A4988) and are also only 2 of 5. So you take the normal "stock" firmware for your printer, without the _TMC identifier. This is only intended if you have swapped ALL drivers for TMC22xx. > No!

## Why do prints with a layer height of 0.1mm often look worse and less clean than with 0.2mm?
>Most Anycubic printers (and also all other printers with motors that do 1.8° per step) cannot print 0.1mm layer height.
>
>Your layer height must be a multiple of 0.04.
>
>This is simply because the threaded rod travels 8mm for a full turn. The motor needs 200 microsteps (1.8° * 200 = 360°) for a complete turn. With each step it can only raise the Z axis by 0.04mm (200 / 8mm). Everything in between, like the targeted 0.1mm, is adjusted by "dithering". So sometimes too many or too few steps of the Z axis to get to 0.1 in the end.

>This also applies to all other layer heights that cannot be divided by 0.04.

>Connect a PC via USB and start [Pronterface](http://www.pronterface.com) or Octoprint. Start a print and look at the console output. The error message is displayed here. There is no point in troubleshooting without looking at the message in the console. Therefore, this should always be the first step when an error occurs. >Connect a PC via USB and start [Pronterface](http://www.pronterface.com) or Octoprint.
