    Need help troubleshooting prints

    I just got into the world of 3d printing about a month ago and am still confused about why most things i make come out with so many problems on them. For some reason i can not get any pint that is spherical or semi-spherical to come out acceptable. The only prints that i have got to be decent are flat and low detail. I have tried to add support to the model but it doesn't help. The pictures linked below shows the main problem i have when i trying to print spherical objects. What should I try and change to fix the problem. Thanks for all the help.

    (it wouldn't let me upload the images so i just used puush sorry for the problems)

    Printing problems can be caused by cables that aren't connected properly, problems with wireless adapters or settings, damaged or incompatible printer drivers, or missing updates. You can run a troubleshooter to diagnose and fix common printing problems. For best results, complete each step in order and try printing before moving to the next step.

    It looks like you've got multiple problems here. Have you run through the calibration guide yet? http://reprap.org/wiki/Calibration

    That being said, your speed and temperature look OK. I'm going to assume that we're looking at the bottom of the print in the second photo. You've got some pretty severe overhangs here, which is causing the filament to droop. You can improve things by increasing the extrusion width and the number of walls, so there's a decent overlap over each layer. A cooling fan directed at the nozzle will help with PLA.

    I'm surprised support material doesn't help. What settings for support did you use?
