Paul:
We have seen this, too with the 500 and 350, both running 4.1.1 and Maestro
1.9.1. We shut down the systems and reboot periodically (every 2-3 weeks)
and we haven't seen this problem reappear.
Works for us.

> Dear SLA-500 users,

> We have been running Maestro 1.9.1. and Buildstation 4.1.1. on our
> SLA500 for a couple of months. While building is fine, we have, for some
> parts, made the following observation:
> After finishing drawing one layer the machine would wait for a certain
> period of time with the message "Waiting for layer end ..." on the
> screen before going in the regular predip and recoating phase. This
> period may take up to several minutes for certain parts adding
> tremendously to the overall build time, since it happens on every layer
> ! When the build is aborted and restarted the machine builds normally
> without this extra delay but it may reappear later again. We have been
> unable to trace the problem further but it seems to happen mostly on
> large and fairly complex parts.
> Has anyone with a similar machine configuration made this observation
> and an idea where this is coming from ? And how we (or 3D) can fix the
> problem ?
>
> Many thanks in advance for your help
