I am having a bit of a problem printing out a model of the Eiffel Tower. The thinest struts come out as little more than a string of blobs, but only slightly thicker struts and girders come out quite acceptably

Apologies for the picture - which is the lowest boxed part on one orf the legs and shows the bad struts closest, inner struts just behind are quite good and bridging at the top looks fine.
The source I am using is [www.thingiverse.com] - Eiffel Tower , Split into 4 parts by beardface. I am pronting at 320% of original size - about 160mm across the base. Sliced by Slic3r 0.9.10b. I do know that I am getting a problem with strings and need to set more retraction on my bowden type extruder, and possibly a bit of Z lift, but this seems to be a different problem.
So far I played around with feed rated, extruder feed rates and temperature, but to no effect.
Any thoughts or critique on this will be welcomed.
Mike
