Messy print using s3d and method X

[carleyc]

i printed this using a raft with an ooze shield using makerbot nylon 12 carbon fiber (temp 250) and makerbot PVA (temp 215) chamber temp 75
It looks pretty messy straight from the build plate, what would be your recommended setting changes?

Those PVA supports almost look like they start in the middle of the part. PVA doesn't tend to stick well to other materials, so you might want to try expanding the supports and extending them al the way down to the bed.

The Edit Process Settings > Support tab > Support Inflation Distance setting can help. Increasing that will make the supports wider, which sometimes helps with PVA.

Thanks for the support info, I'm going through a massive drying cycle to see how that helps. The room Rh is 70%
As you can tell I'm a newbie
