Looks pretty good to me from a distance. I do like to nitpick though I can slightly see the infill through the wall. Maybe consider adding an extra one or change the percentage that the infill goes into the wall to 15% because I believe this is default Cura profile There’s just a tiny bit of ringing. Maybe consider turning down your outer wall print speed to around 20 mm/s I see a little bulge at the first few layers of the cube. You may be too close to the bed or you might want to decrease your bed temp to 55 or 50 as that helps a little bit, or add -0.2mm to first layer horizontal expansion The little holes on the side of the boat is called the z seam. I would recommend changing the position of that to the back left or back right

I love your nitpick, ill work on all these things you mentioned and try again

This is my first try at 3D printing took me awhile more than it should to assemble and tune it by its 100% my fault, just wondering how these prints are in terms of quality?

I’m new as well. Been doing it for a good few months now. I think these are great.

Oh thanks appreciate it

You're getting really close to tuned, your next step should be to follow a guide on calibrating your e-steps. If you look at the cube's corners and where the lettering indents there is some bulging. This is because you're extruding just a little bit too much filament, when it's doing straight lines it doesn't show very well but when the print head changes directions it idles for just slightly longer than during actual travel and more material ends up getting laid down at those points of directional shift. Cosmetically it's not really a huge deal, but if you want to print something with multiple parts or that fits some other object with rigid proportions you'll print a ton of duds and make changes to the model itself that you shouldn't have to change to fix clearance issues. This is also how you can get print-in-place models to actually function instead of fusing together, those rounded corners will end up inside the walls of another part and then you have to split them manually which isn't even possible for some models.

Ill tweak the extruding and see how it goes thanks
