    looks like your're printintg too hot, too fast or most likely both.

    You know it says you can print at up 150mm a second ? It's lying :-)

    Fastest I ever print is 75mm/s - but for small things you need to drop it down to somewhere between 30-50mms. Also if you orint 2 at once it allows cooling between layers.

    Also you need to add active cooling to your printer.

    some thin wire and a 24volt 40mm computer fan.
