New to 3D printing

Good Morning ,

I had an experienced person help me assemble and calibrate my new Prusa i3 mk2s and we printed the whistle and it came out really good. This morning I tried one of the stock prints, the 3d hubs marvin. I left everything at the normal settings but it came out kinda crappy. Not sure if by looking at the pics would tell anyone what might be off but I thought i would ask. Thank you and have a great day!!

Re: New to 3D printing

Two things are quite obvious looking at your pictures:
- The drooping perimeters are due to a lack of cooling. Was the cooling fan enabled at all? Do you use the default Slic3r profiles?
- The first layer z-offset is too high, therefore you have quite big gaps between the lines on the first layer. If you have problems with prints detaching from the build plate some time, a first layer calibration will do the trick.
