    I reprinted that calibration cube again and the top final cube is still screwed up. I don't get it.

    Picture?
    That is easier to work with than imagining what you mean by 'screwed up' :)

    That last one you posted often has the issue of 'too much heat too quickly' as it goes to the top of the pyramid of cubes.
    You need to tell the slicer to slow down and take more time so the fan has a chance to cool the layer.

    Then make the slicer slow it down on the small layers so the fan can do its job :)
    There should be a minimum time for a layer that you can set... make it longer.

    I used cura to print those 2 cubes so I gotta find where that setting would be.

    Good luck. It is in there somewhere.
    I don't use Cura (haven't for a long time). There is a Cura thread here and some fans though.

    I am going to return this printer, I am not suited for 3d printers just yet, i need to do more research and maybe choose something a little less expensive to practice on. Mark thank you for your help.

    Best of luck. They are far from user-friendly in this price range (at this point in time).
