gaps in perimeter at z-Scar

[Schoffra 1]

Hello everyone. I am optimizing my print s on the S5. As you can see, the quality of the slingshot is nearly perfect. but around the z-scar there seems to be a problem. i suggest it has something to do with the wipe distance (actual it is at 0.2mm) . but I really dont get the mechanics of it. i am very happy on any suggestions how to improve this.

It can be hard to tell sometimes whether it's underextrusion at the start or the end of the layer, but try increasing your wipe distance to 0.4mm and see if that makes a difference.

 

And remember, small scale testing is your friend: You don't need to print the whole thing each time. Just part of the handle, because it's visible the whole way down.

 

The mechanics of Outer Wall Wipe Distance:

It's not actually very complex. It stops pushing out more filament when it gets back to the Z seam, but then moves a bit past it so any filament left in the end of the nozzle can fill in the gaps.

Thank you very much. I will try that.
