    Unfortunately, I don't have my phone with me today and can't take pictures. But the dimensions are perfect, which is good. But I'm getting the same teared appearance on the print as in the die.

    Ok well it's really hard to troubleshoot without pictures.

    Only other thought I have is to calibrate your extruder steps:

    So, I'm sitting here watching it print (I've had to go out while it prints during the day), and it's printing REALLY fast. Much faster than before I flashed the arduino. I'm thinking that speed is what's doing it.

    Looking at the settings:

    Infill: 60mm/s
    Inside Perim: 60
    Outside Perim: 50
    Travel: 150

    I honestly don't know what the speeds were before, they were the default. I'm going to mess around with the speeds to see if that's a problem. And then I'll follow the extruder step calibration video if I'm still hurting.

    Thanks guys

    Cut everything in half and see if that helps. If it is speed related that will make a noticeable difference.
