    I saw the video from Robo 3d printing an Eiffel tower (thing:912478) and I tried, but haven't been able to get it to print good. I installed the e3d v6 hotend and its a little better, but still bad. Attached is an image of the attempted prints, white is from original hotend in ABS and silver is with the e3d in PLA. Everything else I have printed, has printed fine. I was wondering what settings to use to get the eiffel tower to print good.

    Wow, it looks like the original tower took a dump.
    In my humble opinion there seems to be a lot of bad bridging. On the PLA did you use a fan and slow it down?

    I am going to suggest you turn down the print speed and turn down acceleration values as well.
    It looks to be getting some overshoot on the horizontal. Not a lot, but on that model a little would be bad.
