    Save a nOOb some time?

    Hey kids.
    First printer. MP Select Plus.
    Getting the basics, But slicing is something I haven't wrapped my head around yet.
    Cura for now, but about to try S3d....

    Here is a couple.

    No internal Supports
    No Part Fan ( need to cool the filament for filament bridging )

    What are your Cura settings, What filament, what nozzle, bed temperature

    Ok, so setting most settings aside for a moment as it seems all slicers have more than too many....

    Nozzle .4 with 1.75 Monoprice PLA

    I immediately ran a Custom fan mount for this unit, it had a huge gap and I was amazed at how well it printed. ( It Was the wrong one as well LOL )

    So I will return to the Little plant holder simply to see what I did wrong...

    So the stringing between gaps is called "bridging"?

    I set walls to 5 and it Printed much better But still was unable to properly "Bridge" the gaps left at the top.
    Does the Top Layer setting affect this?
    I left top layer at 0 because its supposed to be hollow, and I used the Spiralize/Vase setting.
    What made the slicer switch from building up the wall to meet the other side, to start bridging or stringing the gap, I assume the angle?

    Here is the little guy I was messing with.....

    Thanks for even giving a reply,
    I just need to know the limits of this little Machine.

    Should have added Support to allow for a smoother belly. ( 1st model did print with a little ribbing on the under belly)

    Support Type : Touching Buildplate

    Expert Config (Window)
    Structure Type : Lines
    Overhang Deg : 65
    Fill amount % : 20
    Distance X/Y : 0.7
    Distance Z : 0.15

    Thank you again. Used some Wood PLA and that brought up all kinda new issues
    But I got it done, I believe my layer settings are what the biggest issue was on the first attempt.
    Thanks Again!!!IMG_20180810_100213969.jpg
