    Continuing my adventures to eventually print something special for my wife, I switched to the Robo3D copy of the software, and printed...

    First layer stuck great. But as it got further up, the cubes were becoming more rounded and swayed. The top? Like a melted chocolate chip.

    So.... Help? :)

    We need some specifics when you have issues
    what type of material
    what temp
    settings you think could be the issue
    etc

    Do you have a parts cooling fan? It's just has too much heat at the top, since it's printing so close together.

    Be sure your cooling settings are enabled and you probably need to slow down your print speeds.
