Topic: Squiggly Prints
I have not seen this before from my printer...
Am I running too hot? Too cold? Is it caused by a partial clog?

Weird. Is your Z-tab calibrated?

Re: Squiggly Prints
I've not had any problems like this until today.
How can I tell if my Z-Tab is calibrated, and how do I calibrate it?
Re: Squiggly Prints
It looks like the layer changes became too big at some point, as if Z steps/mm changed mid print. Do you have a dial indicator, or some way to measure how far the Z moves?
Re: Squiggly Prints
You didn't happen to wind up the speed and decrease the cool time did you? I can get something like this when I all but turn off cool in skeinforge, meaning that the layer below isn't solid enough yet to put down the next layer. I agree it looks as though you're extruding more material than can fit but the wavyness doesn't really make sense.
