my bad i didnt realized that slic3r doesnt give you the option to change solid infill overlaps . Cura and Simplify3d let you change this parameters . but slic3r does give you the option to change you extrusion width for solid infill under print settings / Advanced . you can try reducing the width by 1 or 2 % just to give you an idea .
i didnt play to much with slicer i found cura and simplify3d to be more user friendly.

I am in the midst of reading through the enhanced code and came across the thermistor settings in my Colin supplied firmware. It is calling out table 6, not table 1. Should I change this?

Thanks! Great info there. Once I get the new firmware loaded I will just use table 1.
So so I posted this in the other thread too but is may be beneficial to ask here as well. How do you update the firmware?
i have the link to a MakerFarm fork. I have no idea what that is. My understanding is it is specific to the makerfarm kits. There are some settings that get changed and I think I am comfortable with most of them.
My my big question is, what is github? Specifically, what is it from that page I need to download? When I get the firmware from Colin it is in one folder with the arduino in one folder. There are five items in the following link. Which do I download?

Got the ABL to work, with some small issues listed in another thread. I wanted to share this print for guidance on what I need to change. I printed this in Cura and it did not turn out so well. Here are some pics of my settings and the print. Basically it delaminated and there are blobs in the print itself. It stuck good to the bed.

it warped)bottom right corner of the box is lifted off the bed) and delamination happens due to poor intra-layer adhesion and warping caused at different points during the printing process...
you can usually fix the layer adhesion by going up in hot end temps , Cura tends to extrude on the heavy side, so you can lessen the blobs by lowering your extrusion multiplier or the e-steps in the machine config.
as far as the warping, if you are printing in ABS, having the hotend fan blowing towards teh extruder causes lots of air to be blown towards the part and will cause warping, but also if the room you are printing in is cool and there is a draft of any sort it can also cause a warp out of nowhere.
