help needed: odd gaps in one corner of a printed box
Hi all. I need your experience to improve the print settings.
I print a small box of 40 x 50 x 15 mm on a Prusa MK3S, running the latest Prusa Slicer 2.8.1 and firmware. In each print I get odd gaps at only one corner of the box (see image). I use standard configuration for Prusament PETG and preset 0.3 mm draft.
Any ideas and suggestions much appreciated.

That's bizarre. I wouldn't think that it's a problem with your settings in the slicer seeing as the gaps are so large that your retraction settings would have to be wildly modified to create this issue. I would check that the set screws on your extruder gear are tightened fully and the spring tension on the idler door is set correctly. Also check for wear on the teeth of your extruder gears.

I would actually look at that the set screws on your extruder gear are fixed completely and the spring strain on the idler entryway is set accurately. Additionally check for wear on the teeth of your extruder gears.
