After a lot of tweaking of table distance, I finally got very nice prints out. The next problem to solve is that wide pieces are warping and the ends are bending up. I am going to try to solve some of this by enclosing the sides and the top to try to keep the enclosure warmer. Any other ideas here would be appreciated.

My parts on a Solidoodle 3 are looking like they are coming out squished or something. The print quality on both .01 and .03 settings are both horrible. All this happened after a very minor leveling of the table so I am guessing I either have it too low or too high.
In the first picture, the item on the left was before the table leveling, you can see the quality is much better.
In the other pics is a more details object.

Make sure you have cooling enabled (if you're using RH) so that it has enough time to cool each layer before moving on.

Also, do you mean 0.3 and 0.1?  Because 0.01 and 0.03 would be excessively small vertical layers.
