Top Layer not closed

Hi

on some models the top layer doesnt get closed. It looks like the top player is not printed

The top and botfill pattern is Monotonic. I had an infill fo 20% the general fillpattern is Gyroid.

I tried layer heights from 0.1-0.2

I increased the minimum shell thikness to 1mm and set minimum solid layers to 7 for the top layer but it doesnt seem to change anything.

Here an image (sorry for the bad quality)

Any advice?

Its really difficult to see, maybe a further away picture in focus of your entire model would be better.

What's the first layer like?

Is the top layer using supports or just printed onto infill?

Top layer issues can originate at the first layer.

I would suggest using life adjust Z - my way – Assembly and first prints troubleshooting – Prusa3D Forum (prusaprinters.org) to nail the first layer, give the bed a good clean with unscented dish soap rinse with lots of hot water and dry quickly on a radiator or on the bed.

Tank you very much!
