Holes in layer and layer Seperation

Hey Folks, 

I love my mini but start having trouble printing. I use the Prusa signal white PLA with the recommaneded settings. After a few layers I saw a weird pattern which I don't know how to fix . I attached a picture. Any hints what I can do?

Thanks a lot, best 

Daniel

Best Answer by Diem:

White is always the trickiest filament to print, it contains more pigment than any other colour which impacts the flow characteristics; and it shows up the tiniest flaw.

Try raising the nozzle temperature by 5 degrees to improve the flow.

Cheerio,

Hey ,

Sorry if I was unclear - the first layer is okay the problem are the holes and that the Layer did not stick together - I already tried to set the Temperatur up - but still having holes. The PlA was opened today so I can ensure it is not wet

Thanks Diem, I was surprised that the needed temp was so far away from what was recommended . The pigments seems to make the difference. I now have a print running at 235 instead of 215 which seems to work.  I tried 225 before it got better but still going straight to the trash. 

Thanks a lot
