1. http://www.solidoodle.com/extruder-calibration
2. http://www.solidoodle.com/flow-rate

If the problem persists, try increasing the extrusion width to .48mm, and if that doesn't help increase the extrusion multiplier by a small increment.

The first two or three layers that are solid infill look as good or better than any I've seen my machine print.  But after the first few layers, the perimeter passes develop gaps between individual strands of filament.  This results in gaps in adjacent strands from adjacent layers, and  an overall pitted appearance.  Any ideas?
