Posted · Having trouble with my print

Hello, I am new to this site, but i need some assistance with my printer. I am using an ultimaker 5 and I am trying to print more complex things such as the iorn man helmet, but my printer doesn't seem to want to do the slanted lines of the chin. Also all my prints are coming out with the bottom being a mess of stringy print, and I would like to know how to fix these issues

    Welcome.

    The easiest way to have someone troubleshoot something is to provide a Cura project file.

    • Load your model and set Cura up to slice.
    • Use the "File | Save Project" command to create a special 3mf file that will contain the model, your settings, and your printer.
    • Post the 3mf file here.
    • Screenshots are good to.  On Windows use "Shift + Print screen" and then click into your text window here and use CTRL-V to paste in the image.

    You should start a new thread and always be concise in your description of what is going on that is wrong, or that you just don't like or understand.  Someone will take a look.
