Guys... Can you help me before I kick this thing down the steps. Things have been great until tonight. I had some weird issues earlier, and it went downhill from there. Every time I try to print this one particular model that I've printed several times before, the lines don't adhere to the bed or lay down out of register and split. When the fill process happens, it's just a bloody mess. Usually everything gets dragged around. I've leveled the bed manually over and over and I think it's fine.
Here's the kicker that is really driving me nuts. I'm printing a demo file from the printer itself, and it's printing PERFECT!!
I mean.. no blobs, no burns... it's close to perfect. So what the HECK am I doing wrong in Slic3r?! I'm a grown man and literally almost in tears. It's just about the most frustrating thing I've ever dealt with. Again... The demo file looks UH-MAZING! Why can't I get this quality??
Sorry to rant.. I'm really over it.
Thanks for any info you can give.
**UPDATE**
There are a few blobs on the demo, but 98% is perfect. I'm also noticing the extruder will move over to the side for a second (I'm sure to let the plastic cool) while it prints the narrow skinny part of the gauntlet (or whatever the demo file is). Where is that setting in Slic3r? That's actually the least of my concerns, but I noticed it and thought I'd mention it.
