This happens from time to time. it mostly happens on the first layer after some infill.

Is this under extrusion? if so, what can I do to helt it? if not, what is it then?

The outher (and inner) surface looks good, there are no string, no deposits from oozing, I don't think there are any problems other than this, and it bothers me.

I had one time where the printer was printing in the air, this was due to a knot on the filament, but can this still course problems? because of the knot, the drive wheel was dirty, so I cleaned it, thus there should be no problem there.

The printer have (only) been running for a week, if that have anything to say..

    Hi,

    this doesn't look like under extrusion to me but rather the first "bottom" layer after some infill. If the photo depicts the finished object, then it is a huge problem. But if it is just printing one layer and then another few over that one, then it should be fine.

    However it could be that the nozzle is a bit clogged. Check out this guide about the atomic method:

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
