        <title>Why is my printing like this?</title>
        <description> I have print this with treelike support. Can anyone here please tell me what parameters affect the bottom part to print like this? This is a PLA printing at 180 degC with layer thickness 0.14mm.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ 1st of all you will need a layer fan or you will end up with prints like this <br />
<br />

<br />
Here's with a cooling fan the banding error ignore that's because the printer 2nd hand and nozzles or worn and the blower was bootstrap made from cardboard as i need it to print a workable printed duct as you see from above pictures that wasn't good idea trying without something to cool the layers<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ The picture is really bad to say something more accuarete but all looks like you have an overhang problem. Either way, that overhang is not really bad, so that leads me to say that you problem might be related to: calibration of your X/Y steps (if your movements are not accurate, overhang layers will definitly not be where they are suposed to be, some sagging will occur) or/and extrusion calibration. Also check you layer cooling.]]></description>
