    I'm printing a 1-1/2" sphere. I don't expect to be successful. But it illustrates an issue I have with other prints. The rim of the sphere is higher than the center. And, it's soft. I can see it move around under the hot nozzle. What causes this, and how can it be reduced or eliminated? It seems like the plastic is too hot at the rim sphere.jpg . Hot end is 210°, PLA.

    Not enough cooling or printing to hot. Try increasing fan speed, if still persists you need to set a minimum layer time in your slicer so the plastic has time to cool on each layer
