Hello!
I have the fan running at all times. I have tried slowing the speed and increasing its thickness a bit.
Managed to print out a complete Y nozzle, but it still has cracks between joints.

You might increase the extruder temp a little for better layer bonding but not to much. Try 205 and see how it goes. I would measure the filament diameter in several spots and enter that average in the slicer. The horizontal lines may be a mechanical issue or the extrusion is off but one thing at a time.
That split in the middle could be the model and not the print. Not sure without looking into it more.
The current extruder temperature is 205. I didnt increase it further yet.
I think the split is also due to the model, but I’m not sure how to improve it.
Thank you for your replies so far.
You may want to run the model through a fixer like Netfabb to see if it finds any issues.
I see the cracks, how did you create this model? Are you sure the model is 1 solid and not two solids “very close together” I have seen this happen on one of my prints where there was actually a very small gap where parts met. When this part was printing, did you watch the nozzle as it printed the upper portion of the part? did the nozzle print each side separately? if it went in a figure 8 pattern then the gap would not have been there.
Can you post the 3d model file (STEP will work) or the STL file?
The nozzle printed both sides together, then towards the end, focused on one side and ending it before moving the other side.
I am attaching the stl file.
The stl file had some manifold problems which i then got it fix on netfabb.

Actually when i uploaded my initial stl into Repetier, it says object is not manifold and asked me to fix it using Netfabb.
I did and here’s the fixed stl file.

I’ll give it a try this afternoon if I get a chance. Curious to see how it does since it does!
I saw this also when importing this into Inventor.
Thank you for looking at my file.
It means that there is a problem with my drawing, right?
Actually, I’m a newbie in drawing too. I drew the nozzle following a guide on youtube.
So if someone can tell me what is wrong and how to correct the drawing I’d be grateful:)
Thank you.
Here is a quick model made in inventor of your nozzle, the dimensions are not exact, hard to take measurements of a mesh model. Steps are create the lower cylinder, draw a line from the center at an angle, draw a rectangle and use the line as an axis of revolution, repeat. Perform a Shell operation, finish.
