I have a model I want to print, but having issues with a gap in the fill and shells, resulting week part.

Regardless of printing .3/.2/.1mm or changing the infill %

Now I'm assuming this is due to the wall thickness not being a multiple of my nozzle size? (0.4mm by the way).

Is there anything I can do to get a little filament crammed in there to avoid the space?

You just need to adjust the thin wall settings. Can you post the factory file? (file > save factory file)

Here you go. And the model too.

Ok, well I'm pretty sure the settings in this .fff file are different than your pic (since they have different # of perimeters), but I'll still try to give some advice.

If I were you, I would go to the Extruders tab and change the extrusion width to a manual value of 0.45mm. Since all of your walls are the same thickness, that's an easy way to get a perfect bond between all of the perimeters.

That's my default setting, as I point out in the OP, I have tried a whole bunch of setting (infill%, number of shells) and they all have had the same issue.

Thank you, I will give that a try, but what are the ramifications of doing this to the rest of the print?

Tried changing the extrusion width to a manual value of 0.45mm........no change in the preview, exactly the same issue with no fill between the walls, at the highlighted part.

Well it works perfectly for me To avoid further confusion, please post your factory file (go to file > save factory file). That will include everything we need to reproduce exactly what you are seeing.
