    I am printing the MAKE magazine test prints, and this is the dimensional accuracy test. It was only off .14mm, so it scored a "4". But it printed the top two cylinders horribly. Can anyone tell me why?[​IMG][​IMG]

    Too hot.
    You have to slow down the print time as the layers get tiny or the layer does not have time to cool before the hot head moves back over.

    In Simplify3D set a minimum layer print time (i.e. 60 seconds or whatever minimum time works for you).
    I am sure the other slicers have something similar.

    Make sure the cooling fan is running 100% at those upper layers as well.

    Thanks, Mark. I'll check both those things.
