I am using sfact (kliment-Printrun-d9193e4)
When processing printing the attached STL object - I get gcode for hollow wall on some wall thickness. - it's failing to draw a full top and bottom layer too..

Try lowering your Width over Thickness ratio a bit to trick skeinforge into believing you have a narrower extrusion (a tiniest nozzle aperture) until it works.

Oh wait I hope you can do that in SFACT ? My experience is with skeinforge only.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

Yes, I think so, but I am a bit afraid this "solution" can give me other drawbacks.
Until it's fixed - I'll try to use a known good width. (had same problem with freshly downloaded skeinforge)

Well then, try to lower the number of perimeters. with only 1 (maybe 2?) skeinforge should have enough place between the walls to do some filling up.

yes, I thought of that too, but did not try - will try. Thank you. (a bit afraid that my screw-holes will be too weak is made on 1 wall.)
