    FlashForge Adventure 3 Lite Help!

    Hi Everyone!I just recently acquired my first 3D printer, a FlashForge Adventure 3 Lite. My first print (a spool extender so I can use 1kg filament spools) came out perfectly. The other few prints, not so much. The parts of the prints that are printed directly to the raft seem to come out just fine. But the parts that are printed on top of supports don't seem to be so lucky... I've been using the software that came with the printer (FlashPrint on Mac), and it seems to be really great with importing, positioning and automatically creating supports when needed. The problem comes when I have to print on top of the supports. I have told the printer to use Tree supports (55 degree, 3mm post diameter, 6mm base diameter, and 6mm base height). When the printer begins the job, everything seems perfect. The raft is perfect, the base of whatever it is seems perfect, and the supports seem to print perfectly. But once the printer tries to lay filament on those supports, it goes bad. I am not sure if the supports are melting away, but that seems to be what is happening. And because of that, often the parts that print on top of them are printed incorrectly, or sag, or whatever. All of the filament in that area gets all curly and kind of just falls apart. It's not the typical silky threads that I've heard so much about-this is pieces of the actual project. I've looked in at the project, and everything seems fine. I go back later, and parts have been totally destroyed. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried changing the temperature, doesn't seem to make a difference. I am using PLA and have never used any other material in this printer. This happened on my second print, so I don't really think any parts could be worn out. I'm printing on High (Slower) mode.PLATemp: 220, 210, 200, 195Layer Height: .12mmPlatform: 50 CBase Print Speed: 40mm/sTravel Speed: 70mm/sRetraction Length: 5mmRetraction Speed: 25mm/sOnly Retract When Crossing: NoTree Support: Space to model: .2 mm Shell Count: Tried 3 and 4 Auto Setup Z Hop: YesNo wall, no brimCooling Fan: Always OnBack Fan: Always OnZ-Hop: Tried both disable and always enableThanks!!
