I had an unusual print issue occur today that I hadn't seen before. The issue looks similar to banding, but it's only in the middle of my print height, not throughout. In the attached image "bad print", you'll see my first and second attempts at this particular part. On "PRINT 1", I noticed that in the Y direction (circled in black), the edges got very loose. Upon seeing this, I changed the design of the part from rounded edges to sharp corners to see if that would print any better. On "PRINT 2", you can see a slight improvement was made, but I believe it was just a coincidence. There was no noticeable issues in the X or Z direction.
Also attached is an image of the model that I'm trying to print for reference.
I'm using Skeinforge to slice and Nophead's PLA0.2 settings. I can also print objects of similar height, and they do not have this issue, which leads me to believe it's a slicing issue. Can anyone help me out with this one?
