Can anyone suggest why these prints are not quite ok. Its PLA at 195 degrees
The bottom starts ok and towards the top it goes strange at the corners.
Thanks
David

Bet you dont have a print cooling fan.
It makes a world of difference with PLA

You can use the "minimum layer time" setting in your slicer to slow down the print where needed, but the print fan will cool much better.

Or you can print 2 copies of the same object, if it is a small one. This way, the object will have enough time to cool down. Of course, a fan would be a better solution.
