here is the layers in .3 they are rough not stacking well,

almost like there is a little banding. I only remember the term not what causes it,
its not z band because I have my slop nut in place

so any ideas on this question?

its from a previous post of mine.

Then set your first layer height in your slic3r profile to .2963 set other layers to that same number.  Then try a print and stop it right after it makes the first loop.

what should I set them for .1  and .2 settings?

Use this calculator
http://prusaprinters.org/calculator/#steppers

Scroll down to optimal layer height for z axis and select 5/16-18 as the pitch preset. The z motor is 1.8 step angle so leave that at its default.

I have no idea what any of these numbers are for an SD3

so its printing well with ABS, but the resolution of the layers is horrible. they are rough.
any ideas why this is happening.

Pics?
This could be a number of things, many being quite simple fixes

does yours have a prob that you reset on each print for the auto lvl ?

Are you sure you're posting to the correct topic? 
He has an SD3 and is having some calibration issues.
Your posts would be helpful if he had a workbench such as yourself.
