This is an extremely commonly asked question. You can get almost perfect results on the UM Robot with no support added and no changes to your printer but it's a more difficult print than most things you will print (hopefully).
This question has been answered in many places on this forum already but the quick answer is:
Layer height .1mm
Print two robots at the same time to get antennas perfect. "cool head lift" is a good compromise if you are impatient.
Speed 20mm/sec - yes this is slow. It's agonizingly slow. If you want absolute perfect quality you have to print this slow. I usually print 35mm/sec for high quality and 75 for medium quality but if you want to see what this baby can do print at 20mm/sec.
Print cool - 190C. Never print this cool at higher speeds (50mm/sec and 190C is not going to cause underextrusion, ground filament, and or clogged nozzles). 210C should be cool enough and safer but 190C tends to print a little better.
Print speed and temperature you will need to adjust a lot depending on quality desired and how much time you are willing to wait. Here is a graph of max print speeds for a given temperature and layer height (dark blue line):
thanks alot i used the settings u used in the other thread and it worked really nicely! guess this thing needs some learning before u can effectively use it

I recommend printing at half the speed of the dark blue line.
Note that you can print much faster at layer height of .1 than .2m It's about the volume of plastic - not the actual XY speed.
