        <title>Print Problems / Slice Settings</title>
        <description> Hi Guys

I have not used my Mendel90 for a couple of months due to work.  Last weekend I spent some time getting it back up and running.  Essentially it&#039;s just sat dormant, so I cleaned it up and checked it all over.

I need to print another Wades Idler Block as the current one has a small crack in it.  But the prints are coming out poor.  See the attached pic:

I&#039;ve played with the settings a lot in Skeinforge and I can&#039;t work out why this is happening?  Tried 3 types of filament (all PLA).  Tried extruder temps 180-195 degrees.  The part sticks well to the glass/kapton bed at 50 degrees.

Any ideas on what I can try next?</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks.  I thought that too, but the red PLA has been in a bag, and in a box, both with silica packs.  I'll try again tonight with another type.  Perhaps also try ABS.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I have never seen anything like that before. A guess would be that your PLA has absorbed a lot of moisture and needs drying out.]]></description>
