			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Who knows what algorithms these softwares use to make their gcodes.. When I come across a gcode bug that&#039;s undesirable to me, I&#039;ll rotate the part at some random angle (say 60-degrees) and maybe translate it somewhere else slightly.. Then re-generate the new toolpath.. This has worked to get around some algorithm-induced Gcode bugs.</p>]]></content>

If you look at the thing you&#039;ll know what I mean.<br />I solved it by printing the knob and the &quot;distance between knob and drawer&quot; separately and glued them together instead, but would still be nice to know if there&#039;s a way to tell the printer to not print in the air but to anchor the sides first.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Im trying to print an object with &quot;holes&quot; in the bottom so they are not filled. The printer doesn&#039;t fill them exactly, but it tries to print the &quot;roof&quot; in the air, so there&#039;s nothing to hold the roof. It should build from the edges so the roof has something to lay on. Like in this video where they print a whistle, it doesn&#039;t print in thin air but start at the edges. <div class="fancy_video_tag_player"><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Aafp7EnzmOY" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></p><p>Here&#039;s a pic of the principle I want to achieve. Left is how it is now, and right is how I want it to print.<br /><a href="http://postimg.org/image/w32machm1/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://s28.postimg.org/w32machm1/roof_Print.jpg" alt="http://s28.postimg.org/w32machm1/roof_Print.jpg" /></span></a></p>]]></content>
