Why does my print look like this?

At the 45 deg angle it's all sorts of messed up. Do I need to increase or decrease the speed at which I'm printing or is it something else??

Here's a screen shot of my speed settings in slicer. https://gyazo.com/a869d28b3cbc46d305f888650693f8c0

Try using the Slic3r expert mode:
http://manual.slic3r.org/expert-mode/variable-layer-height

When the curve starts, make the layer height .10mm.

Post a picture of the object position in the Slic3r software.

Re: Why does my print look like this?

is this lcd cover printed with abs or pla ?
did you enable the print fan ?

David & Jeff, thank you for the reply.

Yes this is the LCD Cover and it's printed with something called, Edge. It's a filament made by E3D. I would say it's very similar to ABS as it requires a high temp to work with.

The small side fan is on but the larger fan is still off by default. I get thermal errors when that fan is on because it drops in temp so quickly.

Here is a screenshot of the adv. settings i set for variable layer height. https://gyazo.com/2f72f534dd791c946ba5b5bfd5e8eb2c I'll report back once I get to print it next to see if it fixed the issue.

Re: Why does my print look like this?

💡 the (small) fan at the left is only to cool down the upper part (the one with the aluminium cooling fingers) of the E3D v6 hotend. so that the extruder body won't melt.

the front fan is required to cool down the printed filament during the print. this is required especially for shallow overhangs and bridges. otherwise the filament "melts downwards" (like in your print).

➡ if you get thermal errors, you'll need to fix this.
maybe you'll first need to do some pid tuning for the hotend to eliminate the temperature oscillation of the hotend. eventually you've to print with a few degrees more. furthermore you can set the print fan only to 40%.
