Post Body

I have a Wanhao Duplicator i3 and when printing "zigzag" between walls there is a skipping/knocking sound from the filament extruder gear. The filament seems to jump back a little bit but not anywhere near as much as when retracting (nor should it retract at that point anyway), and you can feel it as well. The infill seems to be properly made. I haven't noticed the issue printing perimeters, or infill of larger areas (where the slicer will use honeycomb or whatever is selected).

I'm using Simplify3D to slice and I can find an example of what is a problem when I get home.

Any of you know what it is, and if it is a problem?
