live Z too low?

Hey everyone,

I did my first print ever and went with the whistle from the SD card. Before did I completed the wizard and tuned the Z to the best of my green newbie abilities. I noticed some "unexpected" gaps on the walls as I was getting close to the top.

What is causing this? My best guess is that live Z is too low but honestly that is a wild guess with some rationale. 🙂

Show us a picture of the details bottom (first layer). It shows if your Z level is too high or too low.

I don't see how the bottom layer will have much to do with the top of the whistle (too far up to be a factor). Looks to me like your printer started to under-extrude. Could be heat related (is the ambient temp hot in your print space?), or a partial extuder clog.

Hard to tell from the picture, but you might have had a slight layer shift as well...
