Hi,

 

For a miniature diorama build scale 1:100 I made a tilesfloor with brickwork in between.

The model I made in Blender, the height of the tilesfloor is 0.6mm.

In cura after I prepared the model I made a zoomed in screenshot in layer view to check how the tiles are filled and be printed.

As you can see in the screenshot, it seems solid, it builds one tile with 3 squares and fills them with diagonal lines

The actual print, shows after a layer of grey primer, that there is a space between the outer square and the rest of the tile, it does not connect with the rest of the inner tile, so it looks like a small frame of some kind.

The cura settings show in above cura screenshot.

Does anyone know why the actual print differs from the layer view in cura? Why are the squares printed with a tiny bit of space in between, it should be one solid mass.

The tile size is 5x5x0.6mm. 

 

I'm printing with an Ender 3.

 

Thanks in advance.

Martijn.

    The sliced picture looks ok, that you have walls and inside the diagonal lines is ok.

     

    The gap between the walls is normally under extrusion, your nozzle extrudes not enough material and therefore the line width is actually too small. 

     

    You should check your feeder and print slower. You can also try to increase the flow setting 110% or even higher, but this just compensates some hardware problems which should be solved first.

    You are probably printing too hot. For 0.15 at 40mm/s I certainly would not be over 190. Probably best that you print a normal say 10*10*10 cube and see how that comes out with your settings and then try again with 190.
