Extruder calibrated but still gaps between lines :/

Prusa mk2s with 3.1.0 firmware. 0.4 nozzle. 0.2 layer height

I've made extruder calibration (100mm of filamet thru extruder. I set steps per min etc).
Then I've printed a cube. Measured the wall and set multiplier to 0.96 (it was overextruding). Now my walls have 0.4 but I see gaps between solid bottom lines :/

I use Slicer. Where can I set to get the lines closer to each other?!?

Re: Extruder calibrated but still gaps between lines :/

In the advanced option you can define the extrusion width. Increasing This will move the lines closer together.

But be wary of jumping to conclusions. For instance. First layer Filament lines stucking together is a factor of live Z... on my printer - .350 results in loose strands. -.450 gives a good layer. And -.550 gives a wrinkled surface... without changing anything else

I try to make safe suggestions,You should understand the context and ensure you are happy that they are safe before attempting to apply my suggestions, what you do, is YOUR responsibility. Location Halifax UK

Piotr,

what is the setting for the extrusion width in your slicer? In Slick3r it's (at least in the MK3 profiles) typically set to 0.45, if you adjust that down to 0.4 with the extrusion multiplier you will produce less width than the slicer expects, that would explain your gaps.
