Hollow Print, Despite 100% infill settings!?!?!

OK, after a lot of research, I switched to Simplify3D. I've used CURA in the past, but it just wasn't working for me anymore...

I have gotten much better prints since I've started using S3D, but now I have strange problem. :lol:

There is a gap between the outer shell and the inner shell. I'm using 100% infill, but for some reason Simplify3D seems to ignore this, and prints "hollow" parts.

I read on the forums, and someone suggested increasing the Outline Overlap setting, so I tried that next. I changed the default value of 15 to 40, and this fixed the gap issue, but the outer shell of the print started messing up again.

Pics of the prints with 100% infill and the Default Outline Overlap setting at 15:

Hard to tell without more info. Can you post your factory file (File > Save Factory File)? It may also help to post some pictures of the print and the areas you're having trouble

Post screenshots how it shows in the slicer that would also help. There are a lot of things that could be causing this problem. There is a possibility that your file has some errors that's causing this. Have you checked and repaired the file? I use http://www.makeprintable.com/ to repair my files.
