Print Quality issues (pictures)

The deformation at the bottom is due to a too high bed temp.

The poor surface quality is due to extruder not being calibrated.

I have to repost my prior post - the mobile version of this site deletes posts when you click on the text to edit anything. lol.

This is a CR123 Battery that I drew up quick. Its supposed to be 16.5mm wide. S3D printed it at 16.4mm wise, so it while it is a little small, it still looks pretty good, aside from the base, which had some shrinking issues going on, but it is also a solid base. 220 C with 110 Build Plate. The S3D was default "High" settings with .1mm layer height and 30% infill.



This is the same drawing in RepG. RepG prints at 220 C. with 110 build plate. I am not sure what happened to the RepG print.. it looks terrible and there were so many issues that I redid the print, and it came out exactly the same! The plastic is over extruded and feels burnt in certain spots, but up towards the top, the pattern is actually pretty cool and completely uniform.
