    With my next print I will use a skirt instead of a brim, As well as using the fixed version of the medallion. This current print has 30 minutes left maximum, and I'll post a picture of it after I start the medallion.

    Assuming it is model failure, how can I fix and prevent that in the future? I used 123D Design to CAD that model. I hadn't used it before, so did I miss an option maybe?
    Thanks for being so helpful and patient with me

    If it works repaired all I did was run it through this:

    https://modelrepair.azurewebsites.net/

    However some program include repair features for models. Usually it is a rogue vector or bad intersection. Simplify3D hs some model repairs it can do, Netfabb is what powers the Azure site.

    Just had the extruder clog on me. Oh well, starting the medallion. It was working great until it didn't.
    Here is a picture.

    Well, the circle still didn't work, though it is getting better.
    Straight lines are great, but thin walls don't seem to work so well.

    Any other ideas?

    If your arnt allowing gap fill in the slicer it may be doing outside shell only giving you grief. Im about to start your print.

    I'd have to do some playing with settings to get perfect, but it seems like a good model. I printed your posted not the repaired.

    So it is me then and not the model. Darn. I am printing another model right now, a "quick install for cable chain" or something like that. Its working fine. Are you using Cura? and if so, can you post a copy of your profile/settings so I can find the differences? That would be awesome.

    And wow! that printed great! I would be so amazed if I could get mine to look like that!

    Im sorry im using simplify 3d. But at leastwe know the model.is good.

    Dont get discouraged im certain we can go through and figure it out. Can you take screen shots of your cura profile ? Maybe we will see something that jumps out even though we arnt cura users

    Thanks again for helping me through this guys, without you I'd be lost.

    Flow to 100%, if that over extrudes calibrate.

    I think id check the infill prints after perimeters(expert tab)

    I run infill, perimeters, top layer speeds at 100. Adjust overall speed if to fast(advanced tab)

    Shell thickness i run at minimum 1mm. 210 temp seems a little hot for pla(basic tab)

    Do you mean rinning the infill, perimeters, and top layers at 100mm/s? or at 100% of their speed because isn't (and I have no idea here) that a little fast for this printer?

    I set the speed to 50-60mm/s then run each infill and she'll etc except the bottom layer to 100

    What I'm wondering is are you slowing down to much and printing to hot

    Thanks,
    Eric
