			<description><![CDATA[<p>Just downloaded STL, apart from some non-oriented normals, it&#039;s fine, and slices fine (caveat: I&#039;m using the latest version of Slic3r, I have uninstalled the SD version).</p><p>Edit: Attaching the output GCode I get (hand-edited to add calibrations for my own printer -- which, if calibration is your problem, will hopefully be close enough to produce decent results, although you may still have some issues).&nbsp; Used 0.2mm with supports.&nbsp; Perhaps worth a shot?&nbsp; Load the .gcode file in RH and hit print.</p><p>Edit2: Changed attachment (previous was using a +5% flowrate &amp; fan profile):&nbsp; legs2.zip -- sorry.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Haven&#039;t used Skeinforge, but based on limited info, my first guess is non-manifoldness. Worth running it through <a href="http://www.netfabb.com/cloud/">http://www.netfabb.com/cloud/</a> though and see what happens. Or Can you post STL? Hard to tell anything from these screenshots.</p><p>For sloppiness, that should be a different issue. Again, hard to tell based on limited information, but could be over extrusion (my first guess), or steps/mm calibration, or something else. Have you gone through basic calibrations (althoug mine was pretty reasonable out of the box, but doesn&#039;t hurt to make sure) -- see stickies posts and wiki.</p><p>Edit: &quot;out of the box&quot;: with the SD version of Repetier and Slic3r, that is (which has preconfigured profiles that are excellent starting points).</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Ok so what skienforge is showing and what is coming out of my printer are not the same things. </p><p>What&#039;s being printed is sloppy and shoddy. As the print head runs over layers, the printbed is being shaken heavily. The printbed noticeably moves as the printhead tries to print a new layer, which is causing the print to appear sloppy i think.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I got the solidoodle 3 for the sole purpose of printing things at 0.1 mm, and I am having issues configuring it to do that. Primarily I believe the problem lies with repetier and the slicing tools, not the printer. I may be wrong though, this is my first experience with 3d printers.</p><p>I don&#039;t know how to upload photos, so bare with me as I describe the issues. I have attached screenshots of what I am describing.</p><p>The picture &#039;themodel.jpg&#039; shows what I am trying to slice and print. It is 29mm high, 38mm wide, and 20mm deep.</p><p>First I use slic3r set to .1mm printing and the picture &#039;slic3r.jpg&#039; shows what it comes up with. Not pretty. I even printed that anyway and it comes out exactly like that. The layer resolution is perfect, and as you can see when it nears the top the print is beautiful, but up until that point it is extremely boxy and lots of extra around the sides. I knew it would print support materials, but this is ridiculous.</p><p>Next I tried using skienforge, and the picture &#039;skienforge.jpg&#039; shows what it comes up with. It will not print anything, just slowly runs along the path without extruding anything. I fear something is set wrong. However from the paths i can see they are correct and getting really good detail, but my printer fails to produce.</p><p>Is there any setting I am missing? So far i think i like skienforge better because it looks like it is capable of slicing at the level of detail I want, but i don&#039;t know what settings i should change.</p>]]></description>
