lotw_1, 

I see, I wonder if that is just a graphics bug or not.  Want to post up the STL and I will see what my slic3r shows? Did you have randomize perimeter starting points enabled when you sliced this?

I am wondering that too, since I don't have my SD3 yet and probably won't for a while I cannot test.  I am attaching an STL file that is simple, but on my screen has some issues.  Screenshot will show the errors

That feature has been in Slic3r a while but I've never used it:

Print Settings > Output Options > Sequential Printing

Would love to hear how well it works.

Is there anything like this in skeinforge or a trick for it?

I upgraded to the newest version of Repetier, actually told me about the new version before I saw your post.  Here is another screen shot with the areas highlighted.

Are you saying that the new Slic3r actually shows blobs that it plans to add to the printout?

Yes.

I don't see any blobs in that screenshot. If you want to circle them and/or attach the STL so I can view in my RH I can give you an answer.

Yes I agree, give Repetier a try. I switched in December and haven't looked back.

In fact Solidoodle itself says to use Repetier instead.  I am have been trying to learn the software while waiting for my SD3 and Skeinforge is way, way slower.  On an object that I desired it took over 1 hour for Skeinforge to slice it, where as Slic3r v0.98 took a mere 2 minutes.  When I get my machine I will actually test which one actually does a better print.

The layout and basically everything in general is much more user friendly.

Repetier-Host is pretty slick though, and has a great range of features that make it attractive. Make sure you check it out.
