			<description><![CDATA[<p>You can fix the temperature fluctuations by running a <a href="http://wiki.solidoodle.com/pid-autotune-temp-fluctuation">PID Autotune</a>. Temperature fluctuations can affect your prints in weird ways. I haven&#039;t managed to make the bed not oscillate a hair, but your hotend should stay pretty dead-on.</p>]]></description>

As for the second person with the temps jumping around they have always done this and i even switched out the entire extruder for a new one. The bed always changes within a 2 degree range which isnt too bothersome. </p><p>Thanks</p><p>-Will</p>]]></description>

Check your wires for but bed and hotend heaters and thermistors. Sometimes it could be just a wiggle. I had this problem until upgrading to a stronger power supply.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>So i was printing an object was projected to take 8 hours but i thought it would be fine. In the beginning everything was going smoothly until this happened.....</p><p>(Pictures in attachments)<br />I really dont know what caused this.<br />For some background info:<br />I have the solidoodle 4<br />I have had it since August<br />Using kisslicer to slice<br />Was printing this: Heatwave 3d Printable Typeface<br />Here is a picture of this program if it helps</p><br /><p>Also i noticed the X and Y motors were hot to the touch but im not sure if that is&nbsp; normal or not. Also could it be the fact that i need to lubricate the rods now?</p><p>Thanks</p><p>-Will</p>]]></description>
