Printer: Flashforge Creator Pro
Filament: ColorFabb PLA (1.75mm)
Was printing the 3DBenchy Boat (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:763622) and was getting some filament drooping/sagging on the overhang. The overhang angle looks like it's around 30 degrees, so I figured I could handle that (I have yet to benchmark the overhangs, however
). Here are some pics:
Here's my factory file:

The photos above depict the model printed with the "Fast" quality configuration.
What I've tried so far:
Print speed: From 60mm/s to 55mm/s. Didn't see any improvement.
Upped to "Medium" print quality: Reduced layers that sagged, but issue was still prevalent.
My nozzle temp of 200c is fine - I've done some testing to remove 'zits/blobs' and I've found that printing at 200c works for me for this particular filament.
What I am thinking:
- I really think this should print without supports better than what I am seeing here.
- Do you think printing slower would help, or does this not apply?
- Could the bed (50c) be causing that overhang to droop? The overhang starts to droop at approximately 3mm from print bed.
