Leaves part of print off on RostockMax, but not...

I printed this Hat.stl on my Printrbot without problem, but on my Rostock Max v2, it leaves 2 connecting pieces off the print. You can see the connecting parts when the model is dropped on the bed and they mysteriously disappear when viewed in preview and it prints without the connections. I think I'm missing something. Any suggestions are appreciated. The file is located here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:536900/#files

Re: Leaves part of print off on RostockMax, but not...

The two connecting pieces are 0.8mm wide. Is anywhere near the extrusion width for your Rostock? If so, the connecting pieces may be too narrow for S3D to slice.

If so, the solution is to reduce the extrusion width to less than 0.8mm, if you can that is!

Thank you, Doug! I forgot to save my changes from my last build, when I changed from 0.8 nozzle to 0.4. Cheers!
