Re: M2 test prints with surface problems - G-code error?

[Earsmith]

     Im new to this as well and having a blast, almost through my second spool. If you using Creator, very nice, in the Machine Control Panel I found that using the Override settings has helped with odd things. With some prints I reduce the Movement to 40% in some areas of high detail, voids/ holes and currently using Extrusion between 84-87% These two Override settings have helped more with oddities than playing with the default setup. If you have Creator you could visualize the print. I though I had an issue with blobbing like you have on pic 2 left side but when Retracts option was displayed it clearly was a filament retraction issue. Creator has a 14 day trial and is well worth the price.

I'm a newbie with M2 and just got my first test prints - braslet, head, etc

The braslet look good, but head have some perfect regions (as on 3.jpg) and some with surface problems (1,2 images).

Please help to fix it. Bad G-code?

Ivan, what temperature are you printing at?  If that is Red PLA, it looks as though you're printing a fair bit too high - I often print Red PLA at 180-185*C.
