ASAP: Holes in first layer in same spot on every print


Recommended Posts

Posted · ASAP: Holes in first layer in same spot on every print

I'm printing 3d face shields for the PPE shortage for our local hospitals, but have noticed a gap in the exact same spot when printing the same model over and over. That tells me it's happening at the time of slicing and not at the time of printing. The slicer preview does not show any gaps. What could be causing this issue? I've attached a screen shot of the slicer settings as well as the preview & finished product. I'm using an Ender 3 with a .8mm nozzle, Cura 4.5, and Hatchbox Orange PLA filament. Please let me know if there is any other info you'd like to help me troubleshoot this issue.

    You could try to increase the "Skin Overlap" (in the Shell catagory)
