Topic: Slicer the davinchi or me?

Now that I have the davinchi running I am trying to print an Eiffel Tower. First I used slicer and it printed an atom bombed version. Then I used cura without setting it really well and used wayyy too much infil and it gave a solid print but it stopped at some point and it’s not a very high res thing it still looks pretty awful  but not like the hulocost. Just low res. I feel like it prints too fast.

Try printing some basic things like a calcube to confirm settings first. Con firm machine accuracy then worry about the slicer. Also if this is an fdm machine the tower is very hard print unless you scale it to be 8 inches tall or more.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
