Circular Gaps

I am trying to figureout what is causing these gaps (and similar in many other prints with circles), and how to eliminate them:

I have attached a factory file. Does anyone know what is causing this?

Re: Circular Gaps

Take a look at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7542&p=32493&hilit=gaps#p32493

Is this the same question??? If so, the "gaps" are where coasting is taking place. If set right, there will be no gaps in the printed model!

Re: Circular Gaps

Yeah it is the coasting.
4,5mm Retraction distance looks very high in my optinion. I'm more likely using 0.6-1.0mm. But maybe your printer (bowden?) does need this high amount
