Latest test @1.1 multiplier.

Looks good?

ps I typically print something like a 20mm square about 3mm high with about 20% infill and 4 layers top and bottom. I adjust my extruder steps/mm until my top surface is perfectly smooth with no gaps. I leave extrusion multiplier at 1 for all prints. Make sure you measure your filament diameter exa...

Here are a few tests. The left is 0.9 extrusion multiplier, the middle is 0.95 and the right is @ 1.0

Here is a comparison using the stock settings but with a different filament

Ok here it is with stock 0.9 multiplier. Still can't see any difference

Hi It seems that you print with PLA so you should have an extrusion multiplier of 0.92 or close to this (1 with ABS). What is your infill ? Did you try to follow the instructions on the quality guide ? https://www.simplify3d.com/support/print-quality-troubleshooting/#gaps-between-infill-and-outline...

Can yo supply a factory file for this part, please. File menu....Save factory file

Sorry, everything else not mentioned in my first post is factory default. Here is my factory file

Here is my test piece, as you can see I have gaps in the top layer. Recently I calibrated my extrusion multiplier by creating a thin walled part (0.4mm cube) Measured the width, which initially was 0.43mm, then lowered the multiplier until it measured 0.4mm What I am seeing now is gaps appearing on ...

Thanks. The only issue I tend to get it top / bottom layers not filling properly despite me having several layers
