<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Is it Y-axis time for me?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/3823/is-it-yaxis-time-for-me/ Sun, 08 Sep 2013 21:32:24 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: Is it Y-axis time for me?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/35568/#p35568 I tried netfabb as well as skeinforge rather than slic3r, but still had the gaps. Then I did the y-axis alignment, and it started printing much, much better, so I think my main problem was the y-axis.

But that wont solve the problem with those holes. That is a slicer problem. You may want to run your STL through netfabb first to see if those disappear.

Is my next move going through the terrifying looking y-axis adjustments in the solidoodle troubleshooting video for circle alignment? (I'll probably need to get some metric hex drivers to do that, I guess).
