OK, so I am a bit of a noobie so please don't yell at me. lol
I have my first decent print and everything seems to match my numbers in Slic3r except I have a few questions on how to get things a bit smoother.
Machine:
DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE {500, 500, 5, 45}

Filament: Dia 2.87mm, Temps: 220c

I measured the filament on my top layer and it had cooled at 0.52mm, I measured across a group of infill and calculated it at 51% My top layer is as filled as all the other layers which is sort of a problem as having gaps in the infill is fine inside but on the top and bottom layers I would like 100% fill so everything is nice and smooth. To achieve this under Advanced -> First Layer I have 200% so ~100% infill. I do not see any way to apply this to the top layer though.
My second issue is vertical rises are lumpy. Their strait but with a bit of melty overhang. I have a lot of stringing on these kind of layers (printing gaps at 70mm/s) so I might be tugging the fresh layer or something. For the most part their pretty good, strong and 90 degrees to the bed but on the corners is where the blobs show up every few layers.
Any recommendations?
