Hello, forum-goers! Been a while since we posted a puzzler in these parts. Here's a new one for you all - There are some unsightly artifacts on this print of the WeWork "Creator State of Mind" sign. What are the print parameters that are responsible for this, and how may they be changed to fix it?

  To me, it looks like single perimeters, single floor/ceilings and zero infill.

  So, I would at least give it another perimeter and a few layers for the floor and ceiling. It seems to be overextended and the temperature may be a bit too low. 

  The Z wobble may be helped by the extra perimeters but the angle of the print looks to avoid using supports for the lettering but supports on the back of the print either by custom supports or bed only ones, would help stabilize it unless it is a mechanical binding issue.

  Retraction needs to be tuned and perimeter speed reduced a bit.

  An additional perimeter would help but I think this is mainly a coast or negative re-traction issue since it only seems to occur one per layer.

  @Kevin Harada, that was the answer we were looking for! Send me an email cat@re3D.org and I can send you the details to collect your prize!
