Yeah I know we have a back up generator but who know when it will go out - 
Square print was a fail one side cooled very fast and makerbot pulled it up gonna try again with smaller area of usage

So like Aaron predicted power went out last night so i bought it to my office - But im having problems printing more then one thing on the plate at a time - 
Im trying to print gear cube - 4 models on the plate 
the 2 large gear print and stick well but the small one disconnect 
Simple print at 
10 % fill
2 shells
.27 - to cut down the time needed 
Just a test model if i print them one at a time they print fine but when i try two one always pulls out the the plate 
Its perfectly leveled and i will check it again to confirm

Is it colder at your office?  Is there a vent blowing onto your printer?  Sounds like you have a temperature differential.  With multiple pieces (and a longer time between layers), the plastic is cooling/shrinking a little more.  You might look at enclosing it slightly and/or warming up the interior of the build space.
