I should also mention that i was able to print the part fine at 50% size. It's almost like the printer's afraid to make bigger parts!

Also, i'm using Repetier and Slic3r.

I've been having moderate success with my SD2 while printing small things (gears and whatnot), but I can't seem to get anything larger to print. I'm currently working on a clock body - a cylinder with a .1" wall at the bottom, 5" dia. The skirt and brim go down with no issues, but once the first layer starts to print, instead of smooth, straight lines, i get tiny dots and scribbles, then it stops extruding all together.
Is there any explanation for this?

Thanks in advance,
