			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I suspect this isn&#039;t the same issue, but I had a problem on my SD2 that things near the back of the bed were very irregular, caused, it turned out, by the print head rocking as the wire harness compressed. A little printed gadget with a spring to hold the head in place with more force than gravity fixed my issue: <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:214112">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:214112</a></p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hello all,</p><p>Long-timer lurker, but first time posting. I have been running a Solidoodle 2 at work for the last year or so. Only upgrades are glass bed + dilute pva glue, acrylic case enclosure, ball bearing-mounted shaft for a filament spool, and attached a passive heat sink to the x-axis stepper (just for kicks, really). We&#039;ve been fortunate enough not to have any major issues, however there is an odd phenomenon that&#039;s cropped up over the last few months:<br />Whenever I print multiple instances of medium-size and up parts, stringing crops up on concave perimeters and overhangs, along with gapping on convex perimeters. When I take the exact same part and slice with the exact same settings, but just a single one instead of two or three at once, it prints perfectly.</p><p>In the attached pictures you can see the stringing on the overhangs, and some gapping on exterior perimeters- &quot;StringyPart1&quot; + &quot;StringyParts2&quot; are of the two parts printed at once; &quot;GoodPartSolo&quot; was printed on its own. The walls are about 3/16&quot; thick, with three perimeters (both internal and external). It&#039;s a fitting for 1&quot; PVC pipe. I couldn&#039;t get a good picture of the stringing on the inside of the pipe, but it&#039;s there. Watching it print, it looks like sometimes on a perimeter the ABS doesn&#039;t stick quite right to the layer below as it starts, and the whole string gets pulled around the inside of the circle instead of staying where it&#039;s laid down. Why would this happen when printing multiple parts at once, but not with just one part at a time?</p><p>Using Solidoodle-sourced white ABS, printing at 210C, bed at 95C.<br />Completely stock extruder (although upgrading soon to an e3dV6, which arrived last week <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /> ).<br />Repetier Host + Slic3r.<br />Freshly lubricated rods with lithium grease.</p><p>So what&#039;s the deal? Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></content>
