Simplify 3d calibration and ffcreator x outer shell issues

I started a topic here

Are there any recommended settings for creator x owners and are there any recommended tests prints for retract or other common settings.


Above is a picture of my calibration cube yellow
extrusion multiplier setting of 96, filament diameter 1.75, temp 200/45 , sailfish 7.7, default speed 3600.0 and other setting

I think i have retract setting issues. but when i look at the s3d preview mode the retraction alternates each side every other layer.
so that is not consistent with what i see in my calibration cube

From the top down view you can see how the outer shell gets thinner toward the corners on each side.
Each of the 4 sides of the cube outer shell the right is thinner than the left, it creates a different appearance as seen in the picture.
Since its repeating at each side id guess its slicer related.

I see this in everything i have done that is square in shape.

I disabled retract and i get the same results, the yellow cube>
The blue cube was done before i updated to sailfish 7.7 and used repg as my slicer.

As you can see in the yellow cube the outer shell starts out good, then gets so thin it leaves a gap by time it reaches the other side on all 4 sides,
