Mr Intergalactic Keyboard@ExtremeDullard small text is notoriously difficult to print. These are face down? I’ve had some success making a slight gap, so the letters aren’t even touching the print bed. So they would be like .1mm inset. Haven’t tried it with dual extrusion though. You might want to have the gap extend into the black as well. Should be easy to do with Inkscape or Affinity designer and boolean using Blender.
A smaller extruder nozzle (.2mm vs standard .4mm) might help as well. Good luck! ✌️

Actually, when printed topside, even 3mm letters are quite decent. They’re only one line thick, but they come out quite nicely considering. They’re not flawless by any stretch of the imagination, but they’re perfectly legible.
When printed face down however, they completely disappear into the black. I had to increase the size to 3.5mm - the maximum before the markings run off the models - to make them legible at all.
@ExtremeDullard single line thick is awesome! Are you enabling Arachne lines? I find it makes for nicer lines in some scenarios. Curious if it would help with this txt. I still think it’s worth trying making the text and surrounding black slightly inset, so it doesn’t touch the print bed. It’ll droop but in the past when I’ve done this with single filament prints it made for nicer text. For the inset, just stroke the text in a vector app and use the stroke + text to create the inset. Not sure what you’re using to apply text in this print.
