Space between layers
Why am I getting spaces between layers. I’m using Polymaker Production PLA. I tried printing at 222, 224 and 230. Same thing. I checked the nozzle. Looks clean.

RE: Space between layers
That's under extrusion: not enough plastic is being extruded to the part. Reasons vary, but usually flow setting, improper temps, wrong filament type, and plugged nozzle are higher up the list for things to check. Also, a clue might come from whether or not you can hear the extruder grinding filament. Based on the areas where the gaps are sputtering, a serious nozzle cleaning would be my first task.
This sort of thing is pretty common if you've recently printed POETG then switched back to PLA.
