Wall not filling as a solid
I have a wall that is suppose to be a solid but when it prints its not filling in. I'm new to printing so I don't know what exact setting needs to be tweaked to resolve this issue, any help is appreciated.

More perimeters when slicing. Use the preview view to see what the inside and outside look like.

It shows it a solid before slicing but it turns hollow after slicing. What parameter do I have to modify? I tried turning detect thin walls on but it still creates a hollow area when sliced.

Unfortunately if walls are too thin to have infill and aren't a multiple of the nozzle diameter (or a very small amount bigger than that), the slicer can only accurately get that thickness by leaving a gap. Making it a little thicker or a little thinner will usually sort this out.
The only other solution is a different size nozzle.

It should be trying to use gapfill. Do you have gapfill enabled ?

Thanks Neophyl, I had gap fill off thinking it would eliminate unnecessary movements but I didn't take into account this. Looks like it should fill the gap now I'll just have to test it.
