I'm pretty new at all this, so please bear with me...!
Been playing with the gMax for a couple months now. Many successful prints, both from STLs I've found on thingiverse, and from simple models I've thrown together (or modified) with SketchUp.
New problem. Trying to print a big Slug. (Just cuz.) Found this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1859, modified it a little into this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Tu1mxVhSZYTVRwd25tVHFIa00/view?pli=1.
The model looks fine to me in SketchUp. Looks fine in Slic3r. Even looks fine in netfabb (which I don't use much yet). Sliced it, went to print it..... and it drove the gMax insane, I think?! The extruder became super-jerky, bouncing around a lot as it tried to print, and it printed very WRONG. I didn't let it go too long: when it looked like it was trying to print the single model as several separate parts, some of which reached outside the skirt/brim perimeter(?!), I stopped it immediately.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong all of a sudden?!
