So recently I had an order where I had to print a raspberry pi case. I had a few issues with it- First of all, there was text on the bottom, 2 big text and then some really tiny text. I couldn’t the tiny to show up(it was like 12 font). Also, the walls were really thin, and 2 freestanding thin things. This made them really fragile(80% infill). How can I make it print better? When I’m watching it print, the bed is moving back and forth like it’s having a spasm to print it. This also creates a lot of annoying stringing I have to remove. I have the wanhao duplicator i3.

First thing I see is why are you printing a .08 layer? Go back to a .2 layer and get things dialed in.
You can also slow down some. It looks to be under extruding. Is the part cooling fan on?

increase your cooling settings so that the layers with very little material have time to cool before the next layer is printed.
In simplify 3d, you could also choose those layers, create a seperate process, and slow down the printing there.
Otherwise, slow down the overall print, add lots of support, and use a fan.
