Printing issue help

[usarmyaircav]

I've been compiling slic3r for a while now from source, it has some great new features, even since the most recent experimental release and i haven't had any real slicing issues besides 1 and it has been messed up for a while now.

I will probably try compiling Slic3r from source, as .99 works on my Kubuntu laptop, but I can't get 1.1.7 to load, it hangs, so I typically have to use Cura, Slic3r .99, or Slic3r 1.1.7 ran on my Windows PC.

Even if you only printed half of the part, that top portion should be printing during your first layer if you are printing it in the right orientation. Check what orientation you have in slic3r using the render preview feature I mentioned. If you find it's in the wrong orientation you have to use netfabb to flip it over.

yeah, i am currently compiling using Strawberry perl in windows, but i don't see why it wouldnt on linux

I can slice in S3d and upload the gcode if needed.
