Topic: Retraction, Extrusion first layer/solid layer

I'm having some issues.
First something with the retraction seems to go wrong because I adjusted the Extrusion multiplier and the calibration print looks really good to me.
Second is that my first layers seem to extrude to much. How can I adjust this?

And as one of my other problems. Why do Slic3r make solid layers if the stl shows a open bottom? (this is the belt-gauge)

Re: Retraction, Extrusion first layer/solid layer

The belt gauge STL itself has this issue when slicing in slic3r. Using Kisslicer can help you out for that specific model.

Upload a photo of your first layer being laid down in order for us to provide better troubleshooting.

Ok. Maybe skeinforge work? Is Kisslicer difficult to configure? or maybe there is a preset for the Solidoodle?

Uploaded the second picture.
