    Cant get a good 3d print

    Hi there,

    I have bough Precision Reprap Prusa i3 printer a year ago (almost) from this supplier http://www.aliexpress.com/item/7-Mat...08.0.55.Q7oumt

    I have assembled the printer with no major issues, all axis works fine (tested with pronterface). its worth mentioning that I was not able to install the piece used to direct the air to the nozzle head, it arrived defective (melted some how).

    for the heat bed, I am using the one came in the package which is 0.5mm aluminum, and I am using a glue stick UHU to make the print stick to the service of the heatbed.

    I have aligned the printer head using the paper sheet method, the printer doesn't have auto-leveling board.

    after 2 weeks of trying to print the 2mm cube, I got bad prints as shown in the attached file. (this is the best result so far)

    Printing setting:
    Nozzle diameter: 0.4
    Retraction length 3mm
    Retraction Speed: 30mm
    Temp. Extrude : 230 (as suggested by MakerGeek, I am using their 1.75 PLA)
    Temp. Heat Bed: 65
    Filament Diameter: 1.75mm
    Filament Extrusion multiplier: 1.01
    Infill density: 50%
    Fill pattern: Rectilinear
    Layer Height: 0.2mm
    First layer height: 0.35mm
    First layer speed: 30mm/s
    Travel speed: 100mm/s
    Speed Perimeters: 20mm/s
    Small Perimeters: 15mm/s
    External Perimeters 50% mm/s
    Infill: 50mm/s
    Solid infill: 20mm/s
    Bridges : 60mm/s

    Can anybody help me with what to do?
    What I am doing wrong?

    The printer head is calibrated from all corners using the paper sheet method.

    Thanks and Best Regards
