Thin walls, Thin Top

Hi, all. New to Slic3r and the i3 MK2.

My first printed designs have come out with seemingly unfinished tops. Looking from above, it appears to just be infill and walls. Slic3r settings are set to default .

Also, the vertical walls are so thin and separated from each other that the finished piece has a spongy, flimsy feel.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your help and your patience.

Print the Prusa logo from the SD card, if that prints OK, then you have a Slic3r issue, otherwise it's a printer issue.

Peter,

Thanks for the response. I printed a couple of the pre-loaded files from the SD card and they were fine. They did not have these same problems.

Then you need to tell us a bit about what you are doing with Slic3r.

Did you load the .ini file with he PRUSA presets? "Load Config Bundle..."

Which presets are you using? For printer, filament and print settings?
