Posted (edited) · gap before starting to extrude outer wall

Hello!

I wonder if you could kindly help me figure out what i am doing wrong.

I have recently purchased an Anycubic Kobra and i upgraded the nozzle to 0.8mm. Playing with the settings i managed to get very very good quality results, except for one aspect: the outer walls have a slight gap at the start. The nozzle starts moving, and the extrusion seem to start a few millimeters after that hence the walls is never closed. I played with multiple settings but i have not managed to improve significantly, could someone have a few pointers for me? Thanks

    It sounds like you might be experiencing some initial layer adhesion issues. One thing you could try is adjusting your bed leveling to make sure the nozzle is the correct distance from the bed. You could also try adjusting your initial layer speed and temperature to help with adhesion. Additionally, you could try enabling "coast" or "wipe" settings in your slicer to help prevent the nozzle from dragging through the printed object. Good luck!

    Could be you have coasting enabled .

    Also check retract extra prime setting.

    Nope, no coasting enabled. what is retract extra prime?

    Layers are adhering perfectly, leveling and z offset are on the dot. the only issue i have is exactly that when starting to print the outer wall, the nozzle starts moving before material comes out. for the rest, i am satisfied enough with the results, given i am trying to make a fast type of profile

     

    Thank you both for taking time to answer me
