      The "not nice bow" of the benchy in the first picture seems to be a cooling issue.
      I think, it's the opposite side of your cooling duct which have a bad surface.

      You can try to run the cooler faster (if it is possible), improve the airflow or add a cooler on the opposite side...

        @cosmowave Interesting... i will increase the fan on the next print for sure but i may also turn the model around. This isnt the best cooler and im still looking for a better design that will work with my setup.

          Agree with the cooling comment. It may be your pictures but looks like possibly over extruding as well?

            Hmm, i'm not sure its over extruding and here's why i think that... i started printing 20mm calibration cubes to rough dial in the machine. the top layers were having gaps and holes. I slowly bumped up the extrusion till the tops had no gaps or holes... my extrusion multiplier right now is at 1.10. I wouldn't think that's to high but i'm no expert and is why i'm here to get some guidance.

              @wingtip 1.1 is a lot in my experience, normally I'm below 1. What's your infill on those cubes? how many top layers?

              Decent site for helping get this setup. Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs....

              edit: also, is your filament new? or at least at your sure it is dry?

                It is older filament at the end of the spool..wanted to burn it up before opening another spool.
                Infill- 20%
                top layers-4
                bottom layers-3
                outline layers-4

                  Can you post your full config.g?

                  The hull is definitely cooling and overhang performance issue. It's the hardest part of the model to print. I would suggest trying to print 2 of them side by side to increase the layer times and allow for more cooling. Unless you're always going to be printing single tiny boats on that giant printer I don't think it will be much of an issue.

                  The top surface bumps I think are likely due to excessive dwell time on retractions/travels due to the slow Z and E limits you've got set.

                      I'd try these changes.

                      M203 E6000
                      M566 E3000 P1
                      M201 Z200 E3000

                      These changes would make your extruder and z axis a bit more responsive. M566 P1 enables jerk between all move types which basically makes transitions to and from travel moves a bit quicker, which can help on those blobs on the surface.

                      Now might also be a good time to tube retraction and pressure advance.

                      I know your axis are fairly large and slow, so conservative jerk and accel on the X and Y are understandable. But you may still want to play with that a bit to see what you can get away with.

                      These macro files can help in live tuning things.

                        When the current print finishes i will upload these changes. However, what did you mean by its time to tube retraction??

                            @wingtip what is the printing order per layer? I’m not familiar with S3D, but you can change it on other slicers. It can help overhangs if you print inner perimeter before outer perimeter. But can negatively effect the dimensions, as outer perimeter can be pushed out further if overextruding.

                              in S3D its called outline direction and the options are outside-in, or inside- out.
                              Mine is defaulted to inside-out.

                              The print i had going last night finally finished. I will implement some of the changes suggested in the thread now for the next print. Its very close to being dialed in. The part last night came out great and was dimensionally accurate. It had very few minor defects that doesn't affect the usability of the part at all.

                              Will make the changes and post the results.

                                Nozzle-.3

                                Are you going to be using a 0.3mm nozzle long term? Seems an odd choice for such a large printer?

                                  I was planning on using it for detail... i care more about detail than speed. However, when i plugged in my model i built this printer for into S3D, I was quite shocked at the print time. It was like 13 days! Soooo I will more than likely break it into sections.

                                  Here is another benchy i just finished after making some of the adjustments suggested. I also turned the benchy 90 deg to aid in the cooler nozzle hitting the bow. Those first tests again were with zylatec black petg, this is matterhackers white petg. Also older filament and white isnt the easiest to print in.

                                    13 days... wow. You'd be surprised the detail you can get from a 0.6mm nozzle. Unless you're printing minis with very fine features.

                                      can you even run a .6 on a v6 or would i have to switch to a volcano, which means also making another new part cooler and a new bl touch bracket.... uggg lol

                                        @wingtip I run a 0.6 on a V6 titan aero. No problem. 10 to 12 cubic mm per sec of flow without issue. Gets me 60-70mm/s and 0.3 layer heights.

                                          using your numbers i plugged them in to see what the time difference would be.. holy cow.. 300 hours to 55 lol.... but im worried about the detail ... i want to take this finished part and make a fiberglass mold... the .3 nozzle parts when printed look fine for the detail.... a .6 though i worry.. can you post some pics of some .6 nozzle prints??? Cause the print time does look wayyyy better.. Other wise im going to have to split this down to more manageable print times.

                                            If you're making a mold I doubt you'll be transferring features with 0.3mm accuracy anyway? Can you share an example of what you're trying to ultimately print?

                                            Examples of 0.6mm prints: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5282/my-custom-d-bot/2

                                            I chose 0.6 because it maximizes the flow rate potential of the V6 and has a good balance of speed to detail. And it's a lot easier to tune than a volcano with a larger nozzle, that's for sure.
