Hi gr5,
Thanks for getting back to me
Temp was at 215, I have the bed set at 60 anyway as that seems to be the best for me. I will try setting the speed to 30mm/sec but in the second pic it was set at 40mm/sec.
Orientation wise the other side is a constant radius so I'm guessing that would be a bad idea to print from?
I will check the fan speeds during my next test print.
Would having the layer height set at 0.1mm or shell thickness at 0.4mm be causing any issues?
I'm using ultimaker filament currently I know from what I've been reading over this forum is not regarded as the best, I'm going to try and get an order in with faberdashery and try their filament ........ but that then lead to the material with no spool dilemma lol
If it was easy it would be boring .......

These are called overhangs and are tricky to print although you should be able to do a lot better. I'm not sure why they look so bad. You need to print cooler though - fans must be 100% and test that both are working full speed. Also this is a small part so make sure "minimum layer time" is as least 5 if not 7 seconds. Also I would print this slow and cool (maybe 210C and 30mm/sec or maybe even slower). Also keep the heated bed somewhat cool - 60C would be good.
Now the next thing - why not print it in the orientation shown in the first picture? I can't see too well what's underneath so maybe you chose the best orientation. Not sure.
Overhangs will always look worse than vertical edges but you should be able to get to 45 degrees overhang without much loss of quality at all. I think that because the part is so small you aren't giving it time to cool enough.
