How do I print multi-depth, rounded microchannels?

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a lab on a chip design where I have to create a 3D printed scaffold. As you can see in the image, the printer seems to be filling the spaces between the channels. I got errors about dangling ends in the software but didn’t think too much of it then. Is that causing these problems? Is there a way to create rounded channels?

Thanks,

Ankil

First thing is it looks like it may be over extruding. Pic is not great - hard to see.
