Topic: Repetier .92 - gaps between layers

just installed repetier on my da vinci 1.0 yesterday, started a print today, in which there are gaps between layers. not sure what causes this kind of problem. amazingly never had this problem with stock 1.1.G firmware. already did a bunch of google searches, couldn't find my exact problem, at least not from my keyword searches. sad

any help is appreciated.

sorry for the bad picture

You may need to calibrate your extruder.

Re: Repetier .92 - gaps between layers

That and get rid of that crappy white they shipped with it. I swear I think they know they got a bad batch and they are just including it with all new units to get rid of it.

You honestly have more than gaps going on.

Looks like over extrusion and maybe low temp as well. The gaps are caused by the uneven layers not lining up. Start with basics and make sure you do a full calibration of all parts. also use the manual bed calibration listed here as a sticky as the built in method is flawed.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

thanks guys

luckily the problem was my spool of filament wasn't feeding to the printer smoothly which was causing the problem.
