Thickness (MM) to 2. Vectors per Pixel set to 5. Form defined as 360 solid shell. I experimented with different "Vectors per Pixel" settings, starting at 2 and increasing up to 5. At 2, the file was notably smaller but also more jagged in appearance. Opting for 5 vectors per pixel yielded a smooth result, which is why I settled on that setting. The 5-vectors-per-pixel STL comes in at around 52mb, roughly four times larger than its 2-vectors-per-pixel counterpart. This discrepancy can be attributed in part to the cartoonish nature of the images used. When tested with photographs, a "Vectors per Pixel" setting of 2 produced smooth results.
