Words not printing completely
I have been trying to print out some key chains for work. So far I have not been able to print the words correctly. If any body knows what i can do to improve the print that would be helpful.
Printer: Makerbot Replicator 2
Material: PLA
Temp: 230 C

Drop the Temp to around 200C for PLA, I print PLA from 192-202C on my 3D Printers.
It Also looks like you need a tutorial on taking a picture (joke, Joke).
Using a Picture Program Like MS Paint that comes free with windows. Load the Picture you want to upload, resize to 50% and save then upload the resized picture.
This works for Me. Or if you have Google Drive store the Image there and Post the Share link Here.
I also have a Bed temp of Between 40-56C thou really do not need a heated bed with PLA.

yeah temp way to high. I tend to go for 200-215.
It will vary with machine and environment.
Also how have you sliced it ?
Layers, shells infill etc. Sometimes parts of text can actually be too small for the slicer to work with and bits go missing. I make stamps to imprint clay and have to be careful what fonts and font settings I use in openscad.
And what program did you use to design it ?
Ender 3v2 poor printing quality
