Printing to edge of print

Hello all,

Apologies if this is a common topic - unsure of what to google for this issue. I finally worked through some issues getting started and got a couple successful prints off! I was inspecting my prints and noticed that the filament isn't reaching all the way to the edge and on the top of this whistle I got some strange looking bits in the middle. 

How do I make sure the filament makes it all the way to the edges of my prints?

What most likely caused that odd spot in the middle of the whistle?

You should look into the Infill/Overlap settings in the Print settings.Print Settings -> Advanced -> Infill/Perimiters overlap (Expert).

I have this usually changed to 20-25% depending on how bad it is.

Seemed to work! I also live adjusted the Z height (if that's the right term) and both helped a ton. Got one of my best quality prints yet.
