Thanks Gordon, it worked flawlessly with a small desk fan aimed across the bed during printing. I went on to experiment with bridges and some other shapes, with mixed results. I need to try and get slic3r to be better about doing overhanging and mini-bridges in perimeters slower, and with the fan running, so they don't droop and cause a perpetual screwup afterwards.
Thanks again for the help.

You could be right. The machine has demonstrated very poor bridging up to now. I tried to print a hollow Maker Faire robot model, with 3 perimeters, and it failed to even properly do the bridging at the bottom of the torso between the legs, a span of only a few mm. I i think the fan and dinky little cowling they provided needs to be adjusted and improved.
Thanks for the tip, I will experiment

Hi everyone, I'm new to reprap and just got my machine on monday, a Prusa i3 from Sunhokey.com. All acrylic frame, bowden extruder.
I got it working well printing squares and solid blocks without problems, after some tuning. Interestingly, I don't actually know the nozzle diameter! Their instructions are lacking in clarity and seem to claim to be a 0.3mm nozzle and thats what I've been using.
