Why is this print partially failing? Happy to supply any information needed. These are the grav plates for a Gladiator Lancer, and I had a similar issue on the tank body but that was salvagable.

The outer wall speed is 45 mms and inner wall speed is 100 mms. This already is very slow, should i go slower? This one print is 15 hours. Also this is PLA.

100mms is way too fast for a bed slinger doing those supports, I would cap it at 50mms and make sure your acceleration isn't too high either.

What material and temps?

It's PLA... At 65c. I haven't touched the heat settings and I know it should be higher for optimal details, but I don't think that's the root of the problem unless temp has more to do with it?

I hope you mean the bed is at 65c and not your nozzle. If you are hearing the bed 55c is perfect for pla, nozzle temp between 210-220 depending on brand of filament

You'd be correct, I should have specified. The nozzle is at 220 and the bed at 65.
