    I have the ROBO 3D R1 Plus printer. My biggest issue with this printer is the quality of the prints have been terrible. This has been going on for a about a week now. This only happens with very few models I try to print.

    I am printing at 0.2 layer height and 1 fill density. I am printing in PLA, and using 210 for nozzle temperature and 50 for bed temperature. Currently I am using MatterConrtol as my slicer.

    I need help making it so that it will print better quality for this model

    It won't let me give show a image but this is a good example

    (If anyone was wondering the problem was the print speed)

    Pictures are very helpful.
    What model are you having issues with? More than one model? which ones?
    What material? PLA, ABS, etc.
    What temperatures are you using for nozzle and bed?
    What is your startup gcode z setting?
    What slicer program?

    A little more info will help the group help you.

    Pictures are also great for troubleshooting. What is "poor" quality to one may be acceptable to another. Also there may be something an experienced user will see that you may not even be aware of.

    I'm no expert just assisting in getting the ball rolling, the experts will probably roll in soon.

    Thank you for helping me with what you could do. I was just comparing the prints that had come out, and I noticed a drastic change in quality.

    Do you know how to make it so it doesn't come out so bad. A couple days ago that model was printing perfectly fine, but now it is printing that model at bad quality as shown in the picture.

    You need to get them out of gmail, save the images to your PC/Mac and then attach them here, you can't use a gmail message or attachment as an image attachment here.

    Yes, upload them as attachments to your forum post. Then you can put them in the posting.

    The reason @Matthew Schwartz can see the pictures is because they are in his browser's cache, so you can paste stuff that doesn't work IRL and the browser says, 'hey, I know that picture' and then displays it. No one else will be able to see it. This is common browser behavior.

    test objects small.jpg I save my photos in my pictures folder then click on the "Upload a File" button and navigate to the folder and choose the photo while writing my post.

    Click on the "More Options" button and choose between full size or thumbnail.
