So I tried printing a makerbolt just to see what the print would come out like. I forgot that I had 'raft' layers left on when I sliced it. When the print was done, I peeled off the 3 layer raft and the bottom surface was just as bad as the space ship print with supports. Am I missing some setting ...

Unfortunately FDM printing is something of art form, getting truly great prints can require a disproportionate amount of dicking around. The extruder needs to be properly calibrated, see the extruder calibration print. You need to be printing at the "right" temperature, you have to have the right ...

To me it looks like there is some over extrusion issues as well as some layer separation from not having your machine properly z'd. Have you done any of the calibration prints? Also, what are the settings for your supports?? You might want to put them closer together. Don't give up on this printer ...

As far as I know, I've got everything hooked up and connected properly. I am able to print out the first fan shroud (that's where I'm at right now), however, the LCD Knob is not functioning properly. I can push the knob in, and it goes to the settings display as it should. The problem is when I turn ...
