Thanks for the advice. I'll try turning on the fan and see if that does anything, along with increasing the speed. I'd hate to have to decrease the layer height (because it will increase time so much), but I may try that as well if the first two do nothing.

I'm trying to figure out what Simplify3D settings I need to tinker with to solve a problem I'm having. Been using S3D for several years on my FlashForge Creator Pro. I often print a model that has an unsupported overhang on it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15dmw-xQBcCakEn9wjWBy5ZIX1KJ_9xHa/view?u...

I'm trying to print a model of a human face (from ears forward to nose) using S3D. I want it to be completely hollow so I can cut out the back by hand and have it sort of be like a mask. I've already had good luck doing this by printing it "standing," with the chin on the build platform an...
