The attached image is the base of eiffel tower printed on Anet A8. The size is 109 x 109 x 40 mm. I know there is lot of stringings, however as it is printed on a low end 3d printer(Anet A8) I want to know whether the print quality is normal for such complex structures. If any one tried printing Eiffel tower on Anet A8, please share a good quality image and also please let me know to improve the quality.
Please note that I tried different combinations of retraction speed and distance, but I see no good improvements.

I suppose you have not taken a good 3D printing design initially and due to this, the finally obtained outcomes are not too good. Plus, stringing troubles are also caused due to over extrusion in the 3D printer. Check out these troubles and resolve these in your 3D printers.
