Topic: Poor print quality on certain spot

Hi ,

Im having prob with print quality on  certain spot. Have a look at the picture below , its a frame for Gopro Hero 3. First i thought it was design error as all frames i printed from the design having consistent quality issue on the same spot. So i downloaded another design from thingiverse and i keep on getting the same quality issue at the same spot. Any idea?

That gap is from the slicer, which slicer are you using?

Re: Poor print quality on certain spot

Try either increasing or decreasing the extrusion width.  If the problem is happening just inside the external perimeter change the perimeter width, if it's happening farther in, change the default extrusion.

Slice, then check the generated code.

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...
SD3 printer w/too many mods,  Printrbot Simple Maker Ed.,  FormLabs Form 1+
AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.
