Bottom and top layer very fragile
hello, i have already printed some pieces like that and it never happened before, everytime I print this piece it always comes very fragile and everytime I lower the offset Z to see if it gets better but it doesn’t. Can someone please help me fixe this
Please save your project as a .3mf file
Files > Save Project as
Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.
Cheerio,
It depends what you mean by 'fragile', the video doesn't help ... but if you mean that the part flexes and has poor top surfaces then you might try setting infill at a higher value, 5% is not enough, both Adaptive Cubic and Lightening would support better without using too much filament.

It’s like since last week I don’t seem to get a good surface for the bottom layer and the top layer, it has big holes in it

Run the built-in first layer 'Z' calibration and show us the result *on the print sheet*.
the top layer, it has big holes in it
As above, 5% triangular fill is not enough.

I also tried it with 15% and it was still the same with the holes on the top layer.
Thank you for replying so fast and trying to help.:)

Still triangles? They're not ideal with flat surfaces.
Your first layer 'Z' offset is a fraction low - back off until those ripples disappear, atm your nozzle is scraping up filament that has squished sideways and this excess has to go somewhere.

With grid
Is the offset Z now better? I lowered it from -1.250 to -1.170
That's an improvement and will probably work but you could go a little farther.

We will do what we have always done. We will find hope in the impossible.
RE: Bottom and top layer very fragile
does this look normal? It’s 10% infill with adaptive cubic

I canceled the print because it’s still very strange.
Dry the filament for a few hours and try again.
Cheerio,
