Topic: da vinci mini w print too hot?

I am new to 3D Printing.  I have printed a few things, one was a robot with joints but they were fused.  The other(attached pictures) was a DeLorean.  It was printed on its side, and the top side came out nice but the bottom side with the supports looks bad, i am assuming it was too hot.  I do not have control over the temp and it prints at over 205C.  I have read that PLA really needs to be around 180.  Does anyone have any ideas on what i should do?

Looks like over extrusion to me also looks like support material did not release well.
Depending on the PLA 205 may be fine I typical print in the 210 -215 range.
How much control do you have typically  davincis use presets with little control.
also that print may print better flat.

Re: da vinci mini w print too hot?

Thank you for the reply.  I am actually trying out the Simplify3D software, so maybe i will have a little better luck with that.  There really isnt much i can change with the davinci.  It says i can change the temp +or-10 degrees.  I knew when i printed it i should have rotated it, but that was how the STL was set up so i thought i would give it a try.
