Walls not solid, lots of small dots/dashes

Posted · Walls not solid, lots of small dots/dashes

Hi - I think this has been brought up in the past, but flagging it again anyway. Trying to print a 1.2mm wall with a 0.4mm nozzle, gives two solid outer walls, but the inner wall is a series of dots and dashes. Really slows the printer down, not ideal! There are settings that I think are supposed to fix this, but I cannot get them to work. On wide flat 1.2mm walls, it generally works but sometimes just leaves a gap in between. I have to alter my models to 1.21mm to get the walls a solid 3 layers, attached pics show this difference.

So, requesting a fix for this! Or if there is something obvious I have missed, let me know, but I am pretty sure I've tried everything relevant.

    Try setting "minimum wall flow" to 50.  I don't know much about this issue - you could mess a little bit with line width (set it to 0.35mm instead of 0.4).  Also maybe play with "print thin walls".  Maybe?

     

    @burtoogle is the expert on this issue and I forget what he said exactly but I think you just need the "minimum wall flow" thing.  Maybe.

        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.
