Infill ends-up lower than perimeter
April 21, 2012 07:49AM
Hi all,

I am trying to get my new Orca v041 running reliable, but I can not get my hights well.
In my little test-cube 25mm the surface will be lower in the middle than the borders.

I notice a gap of more than 3mm when layer is 0.25 mm and approx 1 mm when layer is 0.2 mm

You also see this when the cube is hollow.

Any sugestion which parameter to change ?
I use Slic3r.

thnks Thomas

It might be that you need (in my order of preference) to use a fan blowing on the printed part, to slow down your print, to print multiple copies of that object together or to lower your temperature.

On such little part the previous layer is still hot and thus soft when the next one arrives, and that can lead to the problem you describe (perimeters are less affected because it have more support underneath).


Also, have you checked your extruder calibration (E_steps per whatever your firmware wants) ? It looks like there is too much horizontal space between lines on the top filling.


Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.
