Large gaps on prints

Hi, the ends and beginnings of my prints have these large very visible gaps between the layers of the filament. I´ve noticed that even in Slicer it is shown with these large gaps. Any idea how to fix it?

What gaps? I see layers on a part that is in probably the worst position for printing, but no gaps.

How to save and upload a project

RE: Large gaps on prints

Backing up a bit: 3D printing is a lot like stacking Legos or bricks.  If you use large blocks you get a ratty looking surface. The smaller the blocks you use the finer the final finish. This is how layers stack up.

To maximize resolution, you use X and Y, not Z to produce the fine details. Stand the statue upright, and now most of the features will be much higher resolution, and only the top surfaces will exhibit the coarse layer height resolution.
