Hey all,
I am building my Tantillus at Tech Shop, and I'm printing the parts on a Replicator 2 using MakerWare. Twice now I've tried to print the latest upper gear, once on medium settings (2 shells, 10% infill) and once with 3 shells and 35% infill. Both times, the part starts to airprint at the exact point in the model where the herringbone reaches the 'V'. The second time I was able to stop the print and re-load the filament, but it resulted in a part that is missing a layer or two.
Has anyone else had problems printing the herringbone gears? Is this an issue with how the .stl is being sliced? I've never had any other airprinting issues with the Replicator 2, and parts before and after this gear printed perfectly. Is this an issue with the model? Slicing? Any help you can give me would be great. I'm really excited to get my laser-cut Tantillus off the ground.
-cheers!
-James
