Topic: Is it Y-axis time for me?

I got everything functioning under Fedora, I discovered how fantastic glass beds and aquanet are, now I see lots of gaps in my printout compared to my (solid) model:

first full print

Is my next move going through the terrifying looking y-axis adjustments in the solidoodle troubleshooting video for circle alignment? (I'll probably need to get some metric hex drivers to do that, I guess).

See everything I've done so far at:

Re: Is it Y-axis time for me?

Yes, you will want to do the circle alignment with the Y belt adjustments next. But that wont solve the problem with those holes. That is a slicer problem. You may want to run your STL through netfabb first to see if those disappear.

Re: Is it Y-axis time for me?

I tried netfabb as well as skeinforge rather than slic3r, but still had the gaps. Then I did the y-axis alignment, and it started printing much, much better, so I think my main problem was the y-axis.
