    Please help, I am new to 3d printing and just got my printer 5 days ago. On all of my prints more then a cm tall they have all these bumps and splotches on them. Also there is some space between some layers. I am printing in PLA

    Ditto, without good pictures of your defects we would all be guessing

    See the "Blobs and zits" section in the link I posted

    There are some other minor issues I see that you might want too look at in examples as well. Each picture has a link to solutions.

    Yep to hot to start. Work your way through that troubleshooting guide and include photos of after and we can help you tweak. If pla are you using an oiler or seasoning the hotend

    That will help some issues. Not likely to help the zits/blobs. Check the link for suggestions there.
