    I combined several pieces on a single platform and exported the file in STL. When the R2 rendered the gcode the resulting prints (3 tries with different settings) were all distorted and did not keep the proper spacing. I rendered a glider airplane from Thingiverse and the resulting print is missing many layers which should have been printed. The underlying support structure came out fine but the sheeting on the wings did not print.

    Any suggestions?

    What model and how thin was the sheeting sections?

    Probably a slicer setting issue. Thin layers and walls can be an issue for the slicers depending on the nozzle size and layer resolution you are printing at. I can totally make things impossible to print with some careful settings :)

    More details and we can add some value. Slicer? Settings (layer height, nozzle size, etc)? Model (link)?
