Gaps in print after new e3d lite (Page 1 of 2)

Oh i saw there was a firmware update required... i thought it was kinda plug in play with some mods... so frustrating having both printers down
thanks wardjr

Yea it was printing nice you can see the flat object in the print but the the gaps were constant all the way up and for the tall part it seemed like the bed wasnt going down far enough during parts the nozzle was running over the part
il try the firmware update see how that goes

depends on what board you have?

Calibrate steps/mm and enter in EEPROM within RH (100 mm of filament called for should equal 100mm pulled into the extruder)
Then print a calibration cube 20mm with a single perimeter and no infill or top layer.
Use a caliper to measure the single wall thickness and adjust extrusion multiplier until it measures .48mm
Also use a layer height of .2963 instead of .3

The right part of the cube is were it would stop for a fraction of a second and drop the bed and continue
, the extrusion is extruding accurate now
these are the cubes 20mm measurements so far.
x = 19.30
y = 19.55
z = 19.85

Ok i got it to .48mm on the cube but im still geting the same gaps

IC3d natural 1.75 its a good filiments its like 30 a spool and temp im at 215 on the v6 lite extruder and 105 on bed

Loose belts will definitely cause those gaps.
Is the filament ABS or PLA?
E3d temps for ABS should be 235-245

A couple theories:
1) Go to printer settings and click on the "Extruder" tab. Under extruder 1 section, what does it read? I have had some issues based off of RH and Slic3r settings conflicting.
2) Bad filament can be a culprit. The vertical ridges seem like it is one of your problems. It is obvious that if it is, then it may be masking another issue or two.
3) Have you leveled your bed and Z tab lately? The E3D products change your height and may take a few prints to perfect without proper instruments for measurement (dial indicator). With an uneven first layer, some spots may extrude perfectly and other give gaps....like in your pics.
SD beds are thin aluminum and warp over time, so you may also be hitting dips. You want your first layer to look like a ribbon instead of a thread. Once it begins printing, while watching the first layer, it will be quite clear if your bed is level/warped.
If warping of the bed is the issue, consider spending $8 for a section of glass or mirror and use AquaNet. These are superior to printing on kapton
From the looks of your most recent print, leveling is a suspect.

What infill are you running? To me it looks like you have two walls with 1-2 thicknesses, with little or no infill in-between then a solid top layer that is not completely supported. Even though the model may look like solid walls, it appears they are printing with an inside and an outside. Maybe try a higher infill. As previously stated, make sure your first layer has a little smush to it, so that it is slight wider than your extruder but not so flat that you can see through the ribbon to the bed.

Are you certain your hot end isn't able to wobble?
