New be problem with printing?

Not sure what the issue is here or the problem as I'm new to the world of 3D printing and still learning.

This is the part I'm trying to print: https://www.printables.com/model/481587-umikot-58mm-version-planetary-gear-spirograph-espr/files#preview:file-UcHTe

I'm using the current version of PrusaSlicer on basic settings and my MK3S+ has the up to date firmware.

I stopped the print early when I saw this happening.

This was the printing surface:

This was after turning the ring over:

The outside edge looks good though.

Would appreciate any advice on what this issue would be describe as (then I or the adjudicators can edit the title to something more fitting) and to what could cause such a problem.

RE: New be problem with printing?

You should save the project in Slicer and zip the resulting .3mf file. This contains all data (model and setting). Post that zip and let us have a look.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Done a print of the Benchy to test the printer and all seems well apart from openings with no support as seen from the top of the cabin front square window and even on the top of the little hole in the side hull.

Does this give any clues as to what I need to adjust to start with?

@ Jdenver.

try reducing the print temperature so that the unsupported filament does not droop so easily!

@jdenver

You ziped an posted the printer firmware 🙂 

Also, you printed something else without providing the 3mf-project file and without waiting for the answers of the first question -  How is this supposed to work?
Without the project file containing all info all you will get are best guesses, like Joan's. This might work out but if you want specific advice, for a specific case:
Save your poject in Slicer, find the .3mf file it just created, zip it, post it together with your hardware info (printer, mods, filament) wait for people to answer.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Hahaha, I did say I was a 'new be'

I was also trying to do my own research into the issues and though if I print the benchy it will help eliminate the .stl file from the first print and help with diagnosing the problem.

Ive reduced the print temp by 5° and I am printing another benchy so will see how things go. If the problems not solved I will post the correct file and be a little more patient.

Sorry

Good luck, no reason to be sorry.

Just keep in mind: If you are using a filament that has a default profile in Slicer with a stock PrusaPrinter and you use the corresponding profiles without modification the resulting bridges should not look like that - if they do, tweaking parameters will most likely not make things better, because the default settings are pretty good and is very unlikely that you (as you pointed out, a newbie) make them any better...
