@ssayer Thanks for the reply! Nope been checking that.
Right now out of sheer frustration I doubled the layer thickness to .1mm and upped the temp from the default 230c to 240 and *crosses fingers* that 'seems' to be the best print quality so far. much more liquid... I wonder if my thermocouple is reading way off... apparently rep 1 and 2 makerbots have a tendency to have that kind of thing...
We will see...
