I've used it for making models for 3D printing for about 5 years, never seen that issue
Strange, when I looked it up at the time there were a bunch of suggestions for defaults to change and stuff to try and solve it.
You can print circles and not have them come out with flat faces instead of an actual circle?
So I guess it's only an arc and not a full circle, but I had no problem making this curved sanding block in FreeCAD.
Yes. I just did a few days ago actually. Made some 4 mm diameter washers, they look perfectly round.
Have you tried using the mesh workbench rather than just exporting as STL?
