stringy infill:
FFF Settings > Infill Tab, increase infill extrusion width to 150-200%. WIth higher infill extrusion width numbers, you will see your infill percentage look smaller since s3d is taking into account the size of the increased infill extrusion, so you'll want to increase your infill percentage a bit as well. 30-40% depending on what you bump your infill extrusion width too.
layer delaminating:
common with large ABS prints when the middle of the printed objected begins to cool while the parts closest to the bed (hot) and hot end (hot) stay warm, the ABS will begin to shrink while it cools and separate. try to enclose the printer (even more) to prevent heat escape, and/or increase ambient room temperatures. If you are seeing this with PLA, you may be using the wrong layer height, using crappy/old PLA, etc.
nozzle scraping across print:
try turning on z-lift (retraction vertical lift to 1.00mm) this will raise your head before travel moves. If your nozzle is scraping, it's a good indicator your extrusion is too high (causing plastic to be above where it should be) or your z-steps are off.
z-offset way off:
adjust your Z-endstop. This is hardware controlled, s3d doesnt tell your printer where the Z zero location is, your printer finds it itself through the mechanical endstop. Try raising the switch location or screwing the actuator screw that hits the switch in more so that it actuates the switch at a higher z-location.
