			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, I have been printing with my Soli3 for about two years now. </p><p>I have recently had a problem with not being able to do anything less than pretty much 100% infill. My filament will not bridge and just clumps any time it tries to infill.</p><p>You can see in the picture below that it will try to &quot;clump&quot; where there would normally be an intersection.</p><p>I have been using Octave filament for quite some time with excellent results. I have noticed this trend in the middle of a roll, so I decided to open a new roll. It still did it. So I order 2 more new rolls, and it STILL does it. This lead me to a last ditch effort to make a storage container (a sealed Tupperware type box, with an 18&quot; dehumidifying rod (gun safe), as well as a bowl of silica. The lid of the container has weather stripping (which I installed) to try to seal it even further....) I have even tried baking my rolls for 2hr+ at approx 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point I doubt it is humidity, but I could be wrong.</p><p>Any ideas??</p><br /><br /><p>On a separate note:<br />I have had issues with this printer since I first got it, mainly that it would print gaps between walls while printing arcs (or non circularized circles, with gaps between one axis of the wall). This was reduced when I switched from Slic3r to Cura. It still won&#039;t print perfect, but satisfactory. (I have been told several times to adjust belts, to no avail.) It also occasionally will &quot;step&quot; randomly. It won&#039;t do it for months, and then all of a sudden it will step every 15 layers or so, by about 10mm in the Y axis. Belts are properly tension-ed, and it has done it with varying tension in the past. Was told to adjust the pot on the back, which i did (to the appropriate voltage, which it was already at), again with no avail. For note, I believe I have the original motherboard. It hasn&#039;t had the step problem in a while, so I am not primarily concerned about it at this moment. (so for the purpose of this post, please concentrate on the filament, since this is the forum I posted under)</p><p>Thanks for your guys input!<br />-Justin</p>]]></content>
