    This is after a few prints and they all come out the same way or worse. Im using default settings for mattercontrol.
    extruder temp : 210
    Bed temp: 50
    layer height: 0.1
    first layer: 0.4
    infill 0.25%
    speeds 50mm/s
    if anyone can help me figure out how to get a smoother quality print that would be great.

    Try .2 layers and 195-200 deg for pla.

    .1 layer is a kinda tough.

    Have you calibrated the extruder? I wouldn't even begin to do 0.1 (or less) without doing that first.
    Like @KTMDirtFace said, it gets harder to dial in the settings at higher resolution. Practice on lower resolution first.

    ive run the calibration circle twice and the cube once it's still giving me a few separations in the walls and boogers. I slowed the speed down to 40mm/s and it seemed to help alittle bit

    The video helped understand a lot but I wasn't sure which variable, the Z or the E was the steps per mm.

    eSteps is extruder steps this line:

    #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,800,723.38} // default steps per unit for RoBo 3D R1+

    The one in BOLD

    The way to read it is: #define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {X,Y,Z,E}
    X     is short way across the bed
    Y is long way across the bed
    Z is up/down
    E is extruder

    Thank you this helped a lot. The first picture is befor calibrating and the second is after. I didn't have any blobs but I still have some gaps in the layers.
