Topic: Perimeter, Infill, and Flow Rate issues.

So having perfectly adjusted my extrusion settings so i get .42mm wide extrusion I have problems with infill not meeting perimiters.  If I over extrude I get really strong parts with great infill/perimeter meetup, but at .42mm I have gaps like the picture below.  Please help.

Edit:  this happens with both kisslicer and slic3r

Re: Perimeter, Infill, and Flow Rate issues.

You can try different slicers and see if they help. I would tweak your extrusion multiplier till you get something in between the two.

I used this method and most of my problems went away.

Yes that is what causes my problem.  If I over extrude it works fine.  If I set my extrusion to be perfect it has seperated perimiters from infill.

What if you set a larger extrusion width in Slic3r for different areas?  Like .42 for perimeters, and .5 for solid infill.

Maybe your temp is too low

Re: Perimeter, Infill, and Flow Rate issues.

I do like Ian said, and adjust for these kinds of things in the slicing software.
