First print question
Hi all, just finished assembling my mk3s, really happy about the printer itself and instructions were really clear and easy to understand.
Successfully printed my first print (it was the prusa logo badge) and wanted to try something a bit more difficult, so I went with a bevel gear. But in this case I'm a bit disappointed with the result, so I would like to understand if I'm doing something wrong or this is the actual quality I can expect from this printer when it comes to this particular kind of prints. Please look at attached pictures:
This is another test with abs and a slightly smaller model, it went even worse (it's supposed to be a bevel gear with a brim base)
RE: First print question
It would be helpful if you would save your project out as a 3MF file, zip it and upload it here so we can take a look at your settings and make suggestions.

@bobstro
thanks for your reply.
Settings are really simple, i didn't change anything except for the material: grey is pla and blue is abs.
Here is the 3MF file anyway: test
RE: First print question
Check your first layer, there is a temp difference between abs and pla, so it is possible that it always the same, your abs looks to low.
I would make a temp tower first with pla, then print the model with different temperature.
If you print 1 small object, it is possible that the filament gets to hot(no time to cool down), if you print more models at the same time, the first model can cool down, abs is without cooling, so it will not cool down enough, see your pictures.
