I then tried it on 2 different prints, just in case the first one that I had was messed up somehow.

On both prints, the first few layers (3 or 4?) seem to go down perfect - then all hell breaks loose.  The edges then start to look more like "lava rock", than anything else.

Am I missing something?  Doing something wrong?  I am still VERY new to this whole process and really want to learn!

I am again putting photos in this post so that you can see what I mean.

Thank you!

The print starts out looking like it is going to be awesome, but after printing a few layers, it starts looking awful and has all sorts of lines that are not sticking to the layers.

I am attaching some photos so you can see what I mean - it is easier to look at the photos than try to fully explain it all.

Based on the photos, what do you think is the problem here?  I am not sure what to check next.

Thanks!

Perlguy.
