    Too much material extruded. You say nothing about what software you're using so can't give anything more precise.

    Depends on how thick you want the shell to be. Some slicers default to 3 layers.

    3 x 0.2mm = 0.6mm

    for the shell. You can use a pair of micrometers to see just how thin that really is :)

    I usually opt for at least a 1mm shell thickness, more in some models.

    Depends on how thick of a shell I want, but never (ever) less than 1.0 mm*
    If you are using normal resolution (0.2mm layer height) then that is 5 layers minimum.
    If you are using a finer details one (0.1mm layer height) that would be 10 layers :)



    *because 1mm is really rather tiny and thin.
