Chess Pawn - Computer Process Priority

Chess Pawn:


These were both printed from the same gcode file. The one on the left was printed form my laptop directly controlling the printer. The one on the right was printed directly from an SD card loaded onto the printer.

The printing process on the laptop was only categorized as "standard" priority, so when I loaded up a forum webpage full of photos, the printing process was paused for a fraction of a second, which resulted in those little blobs. Since this print, I have done all my prints directly from SD cards, but it is also possible to change the priority of the printing process on the computer. Printing from an SD card rather than a laptop seems like the better method for over-night prints.
