Artichoke lamp issue

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. I am printing a couple of full size artichoke lamps and the bottom fins are a little off. The corners are not crisp and the surfaces are not real smooth on the bottom fins. I got the print in the pictures to print by setting the layers to .1mm and slowing the printing down. The angle is kind of steep so it is a challenge.

It's really hard to make any sort of recommendation without your settings (print speed, filament type, temperatures, etc.) and your printer. The variables are nearly endless otherwise.

Re: Artichoke lamp issue

What Tom was hinting at was it would be better for you to attach a copy of your factory file. FIle menu===>Save factory file as.

There are something like a hundred settings and there are permutations that can cause all sorts of strange things to happen. Being able to look through the settings tabs can make it easier to suggest changes that stand a chance of resolving your issue. Guessing and suggesting individual changes will waste a lot of plastic!!
