			<description><![CDATA[<p>A couple of things.&nbsp; <br />1.&nbsp; Have you checked you vref values (especially for the Y axis).&nbsp; If they&#039;re correct, then maybe turn it up just a little.</p><p>2.&nbsp; Have you been able to catch it in the act?&nbsp; It is probably getting stuck on a lump of plastic which is causing either the motor to miss steps of the belt to slip.&nbsp; I think that part of the issue with the honeycomb is that it will take a long time to finish a layer, so very hard if there are any imperfections as the extruder travels back over the previous bits.&nbsp; Maybe setup a webcam taking picture at 2 second interval so that you can review where it is getting stuck, if that&#039;s the issue.</p><p>3.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had some troubles when printing&nbsp; at very low layer height (.1mm) as there will always be some curl on the outside of objects and this can be enough to block the print head.&nbsp; Have you tried different layer heights?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I tried to print the same piece again. Got exactly the same problem. Seems to be when printing the honeycomb pattern it looses it. The printer prints pretty fast doing it so I guess something goes wrong.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hard too say which axis it is.&nbsp; But now when calibrating it failed to move in the X-axis direction. Bad sound and it did only move maybe one centimeter to the right.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>You don&#039;t mention which axis off, but it looks like the Y axis.&nbsp; Tighten the two set screws that hold the y pulley to motor.&nbsp; Same thing happened to me a couple of times after a long print.&nbsp; Try printing with the top open, that Y motor gets very hot, and I have added a fan to cool it by splicing into the led light wires.&nbsp; After adding a fan, it no longer gets hot or skips...</p>]]></description>
