The problem was simple: "line width" was set to 0.3 which did not match the nozzle installed on the printer this caused gross under extrusion and other problems. With Cure if you do "fie-> it creates a *.3mf files that preserve all the setting and the STL file. It contains a total snapshot of the project. So I was able to see Gene's problem first hand. I always make a 3MF file after I make a print I like so I don't need to remeber the setting used > > Does Cura have a way to restore a default setup?

I changed hi 3MF file and sent it back Yes you can restore defaults. When you select a "profile" (which is a set of settings) Cura tells you how many defaults were changed, marks each one and offers to "discard" them. I discarded all 39 changes than did close to what you said, 3 walls and 0.2 layers. I learned something here. I am working on a 3D printable CNC conversion of an HF mini mill and I plan to publish instructions. I had intended to publish the Fusion360 files and the STL files but now I think I will publish 3MF files and tell people "Use Cura." as that will capture print orientation and settings. More people will have success. > > I still don't know why Gene is printing these mistakes instead of > previewing the print in Cura and fixing the obvious problems before > printing. > The problem with preview is you have to know what looks wrong which mans you have seen 100+ not-wrong ones. Next time a problem has to be debugged remotely, I think the trick is to get all the person files and duplicate the problem locally.
