I suspect too many perimeters for the thickness of the wall. Try scaling up the model or select less perimeters. It could also be your infil  layer width.

Edit: to explain what I mean is, it looks like problem begins the transition of bottom layer solid infils, to normal perimeters and infils.

Tested 2 cube prints and I get the same results.

I have a Solidoodle 2. It seems like the Z axis (Bed) is missing some steps (maybe 1 or 2). I noticed in every print I made it seems like the nozzle is squeezing the plastic at the 7th or 8th line. I can confirm this because at the 7th or 8th line the print is moving and you can see that the nozzle is hitting the print. Please help me.

Not really sure if I explained it very well. Forgive me english is not my native language.

Cheers,

Mura
