Doesn't anyone have this problem really? Where some perimeters don't touch the infill? I can't attach a pic. But some parts just don't get close enough to the perimeter so yeah. I think there is a pic in another post called 100% infill problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The belts are fin, motors cooler, extruder works right and i'm getting 100% fill in. Just some areas of the infill never touch the perimeters. regardless if its beside a circle or a flat spot. I'm thinking its a software issue. Any other ideas? Thanks for the reply

    if the infill is globally not touching the perimeters/shells/walls, you should check the infill overlap parameter under the advanced settings menu in cura. I think the default is 15%, my UM is pretty tight, so I use 12%... if your UM isn't "tight", try 20-25% and see if it makes a difference.

    I will try Cura asap then. I only used ReplicatorG and the Slic3r within-it to print and create g code. I thought that would be enough. PS: the calibration cubes come out perfect hence why i am a bit puzzled and think its Slic3r that messes up on anything more complex then a cube. Thanks for the idea by the way.

    slic3r has known issues with infill, and not connecting extrusions.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
