Topic: Printing many completely solid layers

Hey everyone,

I have been working on some parts that have some heavy overhangs. It seems like skeinforge is slicing them so that every layer that is part of the overhang is completely solid. I wouldn't have much of an issue with this, but it seems as though the infill is expanding a lot when it is extruded and is making the upper layers mess up.

I thought at first maybe it was over extruding, so I did the test from solidoodle tips and it turns out it was actually under extruding by a good bit, about 25%. I don't have an issue with it under extruding as long as it isn't messing with the quality of my parts, and it wasn't until I noticed that many solid layers on top of each other causes a problem. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
