/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I need some help with my printer, pic are the results of an entire morning and afternoon of trying to print a cylinder(because at least the printer does the cubes alright but has problems with circles).

I have wasted 1 meter of 3 mm PLA filament on a prusa i3, using cura and pronterface trying to make those and experimented with several parameters from cura but I had no luck trying to make those cylinders straight.

So I ask tha anons here, If I gave you what you see in pic? What would you think about it? Where do you think the error would be in the printer?

Also, I had a lot of abortions, mostly because the filament instead of falling down to the mirror, sticked around the hotend or suddenly, while the piece was being made, the piece sticks to the hotend without warning.

What I already did was experiment with several temperatures from bed to extruder, changed the flow magnitude in cura and the height of the Z-axis(to the point in which the PLA felft and had time to deformate in the way down)
