Thought I`d make the VW van as on Chaos Core Tech video as a starter piece. Take a look at the pic and see if it`s obvious where I went wrong, supposed to be the roof but as you can see it ain`t nothing like the original.

Would be interesting to know and also helpful for anyone else to help and propose what to change.

Howdy Dennis,
I share this link when ever someone asks about print quality issues cause it is usually a very helpful guide.

Look into the section on holes and gaps in top layer. You may be having issues with not enough top layers, underextrusion, or the infill percentage is too low.

I have taken onboard all the tips and suggestions and applied them. I printed the red wheel again and it came out perfect. That was 1 of 4 needed so I went ahead and printed no.2, 75% of the way and the layers had moved. I tried the roof section again and the same thing happened. All these were after re-slicing at 85% of the original size because they were too large for my bed.
The first thing I printed was one that arrived with the printer, a Unicorn`s head, came out ok, so I thought i`ll try that again and sure enough it printed ok.
My thoughts are my problem isn`t with the printer but with the software and the gcode ?
I`m using the latest release of Cura, and i`ve got the printer showing as Balco 3D Printer Touch but the graphic for the bed shows Ultimaker 3.
Could this be where my problem lays?
Ignore what looks like cig burns, I let the extruder touch the surface, twice!!
