Hi,

I've just started 3D printing with a solidoodle 3 and Simplify3D. I've printed the 5mm calibration cube from thingiverse and the top cube is crappy (http://imgur.com/a/HHqHx).
Could someone please give me some idea what I should set the time to in Speed overrides (currently @ 15secs 20%) in FFF settings to help with the printing of small features please?

The top cube is just getting too hot. You need to print that with something else thats just as high or higher so it can have more cooling time. You can also set your skirt to print at the same height. Set you skirt layers to 9999 and it will print the same number of layers as the model.
