I had to get the bed height dialed in but it worked in the end.  Side note, I'm running default firmware, software, and I've never leveled the bed.  I love this machine!

Perhaps Solidoodle should send an official entry...

Okay I don't get a hole when I read it back into solidworks but maybe something didn't translate well.

Has anyone gone into the model and attempted to fill the section in solid?  Is that what is meant by a very deliberate gap?  I will try it too and see what i get.

Someone can try this one, I made the tail thickness .005" a side thicker (.010" overall) see if that will run through better without gaps. 

I also scaled it down to 80% and rotated it 45 so it should be able to just import and print.

Good idea!

Yes.  I think that it might be a slic3r thing.  I'm going to try and get skeinforge setup and see if it slices it better/differently.

It's weird, I watched the extruder stepper, and it pauses at the gap, retracts, then begins printing again (slowing the speed way down in repetier helped to see this in action).  The line of the gap actually starts at the base of the tailfin.

Quite strange. I wouldn't mind have a video of this for our records.

Well I've printed a couple more (son loves them).  The "new layer" is starting in the middle of the tail rather than at the end if that makes sense.  So it's actually balling up the plastic causing the gap.

Ah!

Sure you have your z-tab calibrated as fully as you can?
