What filament are you using?

What temperature settings have you got?

What is the bed material?

what is the Z distance for support? 0.2 should be good

i am using hatchbox black pla 1.75MM

i have tried multiple heats from 180-210

aluminium heating bed

my z distance is at .2

I use a plastic build plate that gives great adhesion and easy removal.

What temperature is your build plate?

[jjventeicher]

it is at 60 degrees but im not having an issue with adhesion just an issue where my support material meets the actual part

[gikam]

increase the speed, fan speed, decrease temperature

ok i will give that a shot today! I will keep this updated once i try!
