			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>It&#039;d be easier to diagnose if the base layer didn&#039;t look so good.&nbsp; Did you change your layer height to higher than .3 by mistake?&nbsp; It looks like it&#039;s not bonding to the layer below which is why ronsii is thinking temps and speed, but that should also have affected the layer below unless you had a different speed setting for your base layer.&nbsp; </p><p>More information is needed.</p>]]></content>
