Hiya
So I've just got a new printer and decided to purchase this software and so far I've found it to be really easy to use but...... I've only managed a couple of prints, but I think it's my issues, not the software, nor the printer.

I printed a file in the default high res setting in PLA.
I designed it in Autodesk123d, and it's a model of a Disney park trash can

But when it got to the top, it didn't print the top surface.

I also notice the lhorizontal ines are showing all the way up, but I assume that's the technology at the moment.

Anyone help with the top surface issue?

Btw , I can't seem to attach an image to the post

Just click "upload attachment" to add an image. It's hard to give much advice without one...

I've tried other models which seem to be ok when I add more levels at the top and bottom
So I'll try another one.

I'd recommend adding more top solid layers, and maybe also increasing the infill percentage slightly to give a better foundation below the solid layers
