Gj. Looks like you are over extruding?

3

Yeah that top layer definitely looks a little over extruded.

Thanks guys, the slicer used was CraftWare 1.08 beta Release date (2014.12.28); this is the older version.
Extrusion width: 0.28mm
Extruder speed ratio: 100.

Sand paper

6

do you have a 0.28mm nozzle? If not extrusion width should be set to 0.4mm

7

My CraftBot’s nozzle is 0.4mm
Reason why I used ew 0.28 is based on (ew/layer ht.) Ratio of 1.4, based on what I read in Slic3r.

8

Hmm I’m pretty sure that’s for max layer height. i.e. max LH for a 0,4mm nozzle is about 0.3-0.32mm. for a 0.5mm nozzle should be 0.4mm. EW should definitely be set to 0.4mm unless you’re experimenting to see what happens.

9

That means EW setting is independent of layer height?

My layer ht. was 0.2mm, EW 0.28mm. Nozzle dia. 0.4mm.

Glad to see my pencil holder inspired you! and I love any post which generates “what went wrong and how can i fix it” comments from the 3dp forces…
