Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

After a few test cubes I am pretty happy with it.

Did a test print of the 3D Benchy though there are a few issues with it that you all may be able to guide me to fix.

Mainly top layers seem too thin (see picture).

Settings are as follows.

Printed setting in Simplify3D
High quality
PLA
Extruder layer 1 at 230 degress
layer 2 at 240 degrees
No heated bed

Any advice on how to improve this would be greatly appreciated

WOW, way too hot for PLA. I haven't even seen ABS that I have purchased at 230c-240c. Try and lower those temps and repeat that test unless this PLA is an oddity demanding those sorts of temps. Most PLA I have used want around 200c (give or take 10c either way).

Is there a reason why you would choose 0.9 extrusion multiplier instead of 1? I'm just curious as mine has been set at 1 and I didn't think to change it for any of my prints yet.
