really bad prints

[Daniel Rosen]

I am trying to print on this AXIOM AIRWOLF piece of junk while I can get another one at work. There is no support on the company's website and their posted settings are completely wrong. I am using Cura and was able to make it work but now I am getting this horrible prints. what I going on? can somebody help me to get started troubleshooting this? thanks

Looks to me like you never got a good first layer. The bed is probably not adequately leveled.

I agree - looks like bad first layer. But, I also think something much worse is going on. Front of that area of object looks better while back of that section goes WAYS BAD!!!

I suggest - a basic shape first. Do a Square - decent sized - only like 2 or 3 layers high - dial that in. Then, if it works - do like 5 20mm cubed cubes - 1 in middle - and four close to corners of build volume. 

Do basics first THEN print a real part!
