  1. In the expert settings you can raise the "infill overlap %". This wil make the infill connect better with the perimeter loops. Default it is set to 15%. I normally use 20% but you could use a lot more like 50%. Just give it a try.

    If this does not solve your problem you probably have more serious problems like underextrusion or belts that are not tensioned properly.

     

  2. I bolted a 1 kg steel plate to the underside of my Z-platform (the wooden). The ringing is less but has not gone away completely. But it has another advantage: because the wood is under constant pressure now, I don't need to do as much bed-leveling as before, and the Z-height stays more constant, especially during a long print.

     

  3. I did a print just now with a 5mm diameter circular hole and it came out at 4.5mm. This is a lot better than Skeinforge and the remaining difference may just mean that I need to tweak my machine better.

    What are other people's experiences with the printed size of small holes on the new CuraEngine slicer?

     

    I'm getting between 4.8mm and 4.9mm on a 5mm hole. I compensate this with 0.1mm more radius in my openscad designs and everything is well :).
