Gaps in perimeter and between perimeter and infill at 45 degree angle  

Re: Gaps in perimeter and between perimeter and infill at 45 degree angle

I use at this stage, Cura and Octoprint. I went to Simplify3D to check for you and basically found a war going on regarding backlash. It was ugly and it led me to believe that the settings arent there in Simplify3D

Thanks for the insight, I am using Octoprint as well. Does Cura work better with it? It would be nice to have some integration. I still have not settled on a slicer, I was using Slic3r but thought I would try S3D to see it I liked it better. I will give Cura a go as well.

could you try one perimiter. that should persuade the slicer to fill the top with infil, rather than insufficient perimeters.

Thanks Joan, this is ultimately what I had to do. Thanks for the suggestion.

Glad I could help Jason,

what I think was happening was that the part in question was marginally larger than 4 times the nozzle diameter, the printer does two perimeters on the outside of the part, then two outlines on the inside of the part, and decided that the remaining space was too small for the slicer to infill
by moving to one outline th infill area becomes just over 0.8mm wide, and the slicer decides it is worth infilling. with the expected results.
