Concentric External Fill Issue

Is there a setting that I could adjust to avoid having this gap when printing on concentric external fill?

Re: Concentric External Fill Issue

My extrusion width is .5 as well as my nozzle. I would also guestimate thats the width of the missing area. So possibly a smaller nozzle size/setting would correct it. But is there a way to slice it so that the gap between the extrusion lines is increased so that the difference is split among the entire width of the print.

Re: Concentric External Fill Issue

Increasing your extrusion width to say 5.1 or 5.2 should close the gap down.

Alternatively, reduce the number of perimeters to create a gap wide enough for infill to do the bridging with outline overlap set to approx. 35%.
