    It is a little tricky in that you need to get the speed and temperatures (and parts fan) correct.
    I'll print and post one for you in a few.

    Exactly. I did five of those today with no luck of getting a decent result, yet. I am testing what Extrusion Multiplier can do with different values. From my tests, its seemed liked it does not gave much impact to my settings & printer. Lowest I used was 0.90. Highest was 0.95.

    So this gave me an idea that I need to play with other settings then. Right now I am printing the temperature test model. I think I am going to play with the temperature next.

    Here is one untouched (directly off printer).
    There are some artifacts on the bottom edges of the diagonal columns, but nothing major. Would clean up easy.

    Nice! Wayyyyyy cleaner than mine thats for sure. Can you share your settings? Maybe I can try them out & see how it turns out.

    I have posted my S3D profiles before, but here they are again.
    Most of these are for the volcano adapter so the nozzle size will be way off.
    Sanity check them before use.

    That model was printed with the volcano E3D and a 0.8 nozzle

    I decided to print this also. I only use a regular E3Dv6, not a Volcano. I also use the default 0.4 mm nozzle.

    The top needs a snip and my temps are about 5°C too hot.

    Forgot to mention that for stuff like this I always use 0.25 mm layers. It just prints ever so slightly faster.

    Yea, good point. I was at 0.4mm layer heights on that.

    Okay 1st thing 1st. This is what I get from my printer. You guys just makes me wana cry when I looked at mine.
    Main difference betwen the two is the purple is printed slow & the yellow is fast. I'm right now speechless comparing mine to you guys

    First thing I would suggest is increase retraction just a fraction. It will help with the stringing. A few degrees cooler would also help. Print as fast as possible without losing the crispness of your edges. It's all about trial and error when you start.

    Add more. Go in small increments.

    Yes, for an E3D you can go to about 3 mm maximum, although I wouldn't go that high. That number is based on information provided by E3D themselves. My personal PLA setting are at 1.00 mm.

    I am with the stock hexagon. Is it the same with the E3D?

    Okay here is something worthy to share.

    Finally after the 10th print, something that made me smile. Not perfect but I'm all good with this.

    Those type of test models are invaluable when you run into issues later in helping you recalibrate for a different filament type or to diagnose a problem. Something quick and easy to print.
