Re: why does this print have rough spots.

Look like drooping overhangs, maybe try adding a cooling fan?

Re: why does this print have rough spots.

i am assuming printed with PLA?

Re: why does this print have rough spots.

Probably need a fan and try more infill. In my experience it's really best to print stuff like this solid. What's your nozzle size? Dependent on that its also possible parts of the model simply ask for too much from the slicer.

Maybe try reducing the layer height to something around 0.4mm - 0.2mm and you shouldn't get as rough.

Solidoodle 3 that came with new extruder setup with extra fan that hits left side of machine reducing print area even more than originally falsely advertised.

Crappy new driver board that has soldered on driver chips and atmega so if anything fries the whole thing gets trashed instead replacing $5 driver chips or $3 atmega.
