Hey guys,

I’d like to get your opinion on what you think is causing my printer issue. Recently, Lulzbot replaced my printer for a totally unrelated issue. I printed a test part with the old printer and the same part with the same settings with the new printer. The print defect only showed up on the new printer.

Near the bottom of the part, it seems like I’m getting some overextrusion of some sort. However, as the part goes farther up, the problem seems to disappear. I am currently running the Lulzbot supplied ABS - fine profiles. Please see the attached files.

IMG\_1492 was included because it looks to me like when the first solid layer over the infill goes in, the material doesn’t look as connected as it should. The part looks fine after a few more layers go down, but I just thought the first layer looked odd to me. Maybe it’s fine, but I thought I’d check and see what you guys think.

Thanks  
Jim
