Some nagging issues remain, any thoughts on where I should tweak to solve?
Odd squigglies going on

What looks like flashing or melting around the bottom and on the side

Some separation in the layers on the top between the infill and edges

Love to hear your thoughts on what the issues might be and where to look to make changes. There is an overwhelming amount of "stuff" to know once you start to know what the lingo is... my brain = mush

Re: Diagnose my cube (that sounded dirty)
Could you give us a quick run down for the temps you printed at, material etc. Thanks.
Overall a very very nice cube really. Nothing at all to be overly concerned about.
Depending on the material you printed with your temps may be slightly off.

Re: Diagnose my cube (that sounded dirty)
Sorry I guess details would be nice, duh...
I'm printing in 1.75 ABS @ 220 extruder temp / 90-100 bed temp

Re: Diagnose my cube (that sounded dirty)
Looks pretty good to me, what slicer were you using, KissSlicer doesn't bridge, so you almost always get drooping filament.
What you're really looking for is good layer alignment, which you have.
The slight gap at the top, might be an indicator of extruding slightly too little filament, but this isn't a great print for calibrating that.

Re: Diagnose my cube (that sounded dirty)
Sorry, I'll eventually figure out the details I need to include in order for folks to help. I was using slic3r and the config from the Rostock manual.
Thanks for the input! I'll mess around with the feed rate a little and see what happens. Seems like there is a lot of initial trial and error lol. My desk is being overrun with cubes
So is the drooping filament something that can be addressed in a change of slicer program?
Cheers,
Mike

Re: Diagnose my cube (that sounded dirty)
Slicer does bridge, you probably want to reduce the extrusion width, and try printing slightly hotter, and possibly slightly faster, you really need to watch the bridging operation to see what's happening.
