Top layer becoming bad
Hi
I have a recurring problem with the top surface on my prints.
Usually using 15-20% infill and 0,1 layer height, 100% speed and PLA plastic on 225 degrees celsius
As you can see i get a visible diamond-pattern and holes in the middle. This one was really bad..

Any tips on how to avoid this?
Re: Top layer becoming bad
How many top layers do you use?
The printer profile says 9 layers, have you reduced that number?

Re: Top layer becoming bad
We are using the Prusa profile in the software Simplify 3D, i think its 1-2 layers. Sounds like we should update the profile.
Is 9 layers recommended for all layer heights?
0,3 = ?
0,2 = ?
0,1 = 9 layers?
0,05 = 9 layers?
Re: Top layer becoming bad
Only 2 layers is not found in any profile because it is too small to have a cover layer.
These values are in Slic3r:
Layer = Top - Bottom
0.30 Not available, this layer height is removed.
0.20 = 5 - 4
0.15 = 7 - 5
0.10 = 9 - 7
0.05 = 15 - 10

Hi, you are correct, we had 4 top layers on our prusa profile 🙂
Thank you very much for the information!! Will update our profiles
