        <title>Lots of problems with a Prusa i3</title>
        <description> Hi! I&#039;ve been trying to get consistent prints out of my Prusa i3 but it just doesn&#039;t want to cooperate :( I&#039;ve tried printing with Proterface and Repetier, sliced with Slic3r and Cura but nothing turns out consistently ok.

Here&#039;s an example of how a first layer might look:

Yesterday&#039;s print of an X axis idler turned out kind of ok.I posted a bunch of pictures on my blog. Please take a look if you have time.

I&#039;ve calibrated and recalibrated the extruder, been through quite a few guides but I just can&#039;t nail the problem. Any ides what I could check would be greatly appreciated.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Soggy fill might be too high a temperature.  Gaps in walls is caused by the slicing software not being able to fill due to the extrusion width: if you've got a 1.25 mm thick wall and your extrusion width is .5mm, you're going to end up with a .25mm gap in the middle.<br />

Have you run through the calibration guide on the reprap wiki yet?  [<a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/Calibration" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">reprap.org</a>]]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ A few more examples from today. Soggy fill on small areas, gaps in single walls, gaps on the bottom layer and gaps on the top :( I attached the gcode from the print.<br />
