Solid infill isn't solid

I am having some significant issues with Simplify3d on my printer trying to print parts for a custom job. Running the same part through Repetier host nets a perfect print every single time. I have not check marked the solid diaphragm, simply because I should not have to do this to create a solid part, this seems like a work around to force the software to do something it's not doing properly. What am I missing here?

This is creating an issue where ABS/PLA seems to be under extruding; however, every test indicates it isn't. This causes a significant issue in printing with Taulman 645, since I am trying to print a solid part.

Printer: Delta
Hotend: E3D v6
Extruder: Bondtech
Results of Extruding 100MM = 100.3MM
Infill Tried: Triangular/Honeycomb
Nozzle Diameter: .4
Extrusion Width .48 (manual)
Extrusion Multiplier: 1
Retraction: 1
Layer Height (tried .3/.2/.1)
First Layer Height: 101
First Layer Width: 100
Infill Pattern: Tried multiple
Interior Fill Percentage: 100
Outline Overlap: 15
Infill Extrusion Width: 150/200 (tried multiple)
Minimum Infill Length: 1mm
Include solid Diaphragm every 1 layer (NOT checked)

for solid infill use rectilinear. honeycomb and any of the special infill patterns dont really do solid infill. solid infill needs nice clean straight lines.

Thanks, there needs to be a +1 for these types of things, or beans, or beer.
