Topic: Fill

Hi Guys.  Newbie here.  Having a bit of trouble with the infill not touching the outside walls of a box which is about 4.6mm.  I have read a lot and made a lot of changes in the slicer to no avail.  Changed the extrusion multiplier both up and down, flow rate, and a lot of other settings suggested on the forum.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Fill

Can you put a photo up for us to look at? I am guessing without the photo but I would imagine that you are under extruding some. I normally check with a single wall box without a top. The thickness should be around .020" for me. I think that is about .5mm.  The extrusion rate and filament diameter control the flow of material. This wall thickness check will give you a very good idea on if the extrusion rate is set correctly.

Re: Fill

Thanks for the reply.  I will attach a photo of my issue.  It is a box with .200" wall thickness.  The perpendicular walls are fine.  the opposite wall has a little of the same problem but not as severe.  The wall depicted is the nearest to the front of the print bed.  It has a gap between the fill and the inside wall.  I am totally at a miss as to the cause.  Hopefully someone out there knows the solution.
