Hi,
thanks for the hints.
So, new setup:
- added a fan
- used a lower temp (185/190 °C instead of 200°C)
- used a lower speed (40 mm/s instead of 50 mm/s)
You can see the result here:
[lh3.googleusercontent.com]
it not seems still ok.
I've tried also to print again, from here:
[www.thingiverse.com]
- the .5mm thin wall:
[lh5.googleusercontent.com]
- the 20mm box
[lh6.googleusercontent.com]
Any hints?
Regards

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
Test setup:
- used a lower Max Z speed (2.0 instead of 3.0)
Results
- the .5mm thin wall:
[lh4.googleusercontent.com]
- the 20mm box
[lh6.googleusercontent.com]
it seems much worse than before.
thanks for the reply.

Oh God...

Thanks all,
here i am.
So, i've changed the firmware, now i'm using the Marlin.
After this update, Slic3r seems to work very well (Cura instead seems to work very bad with Marlin fw....)
So, new setup:
- used a lower temp (173 °C - i'm using PLA)
- used a lower speed (30 mm/s)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UXF0qH0d61c/UD8ehkSuj2I/AAAAAAAAESE/UWjYeP_AEFs/s800/DSCF0301.JPG
What do you think?
Now i'd like to fix other issues related to print quality...
Maybe it's better if i open a new thread!
