Help with settings in Simplify3D

Why does this happen?
This is printed in PLA with a mk3 useing Simplify3D and with the Filament frenzy profile at 0,1mm layer height.

At 0,2 layerheight it works fine. I just dont know what setting to tweek to get it to work att 0,1.

Please help!

My the gcode be with you!

My guess is nozzle temperature is not keeping up with the print speed. Try slowing things down.

[...] This is printed in PLA with a mk3 useing Simplify3D and with the Filament frenzy profile at 0,1mm layer height.

As Tim suggests, slowing down is always a good place to start troubleshooting print profiles. Use the knob on the front to dial speeds way back (50% or less) and see how those layers print. If the print succeeds, you know you just need to use more conservative print speeds. Alternately, use the default Prusa profile and compare.

Edit: I found a profile with the same name online, and it doesn't appear to use outrageous speeds, with a default of 50mm/s and 1st layer at 50% of that. Try one of the pre-generated gcode files and see if you're still having problems. You might have a partial clog or other extruder issue. Print something that you know worked previously to see if it's a hardware or settings issue.

Looks like nozzle is clogging to me. Can you hear "klick, klick ..."?

Re: Help with settings in Simplify3D

The fact 0.2mm works ... and 0.1mm doesn't -- somewhere in the back of my mind it's a heat issue. Plastic isn't being kept hot enough to flow at thin layers... hydrostatics and such; mimics a plugged nozzle, but isn't. Could be wrong though. A cold pull is an easy test.

It also looks like Galaxy Black - a filled PLA known to have print issues like this.
