Layers gaps in preview mode

[JV3D]

Hello community

I am experiencing some issues with the slicer with some parts, the preview mode shows some gaps between layers in the preview, not sure if this is a image only issue or the printer will skip those layers when printing. I verify the part with Netfabb and is okay, also the Cura and Repetier software do not show the gaps

The image shows the mentioned gaps:


I have not tried to print yet since is a huge part and do not want to lose material and time

Hi:

I am having the same issue. Cannot find anything wrong with the model. Have tried a number of settings changes but always get the same results.

Have you tried running the Repair checks in S3D? Does it find non-manifold or self-intersecting surfaces? If so, you probably need to repair the model first.

You should also post the STL file here if you want more help

I am still having issues with similar models, I used Cura before but I am missing the advanced setting from S3D, I can not share the file since unfornately it is not mine, it is a work I am printing, so I have not the right to share it here

I am 99% sure it is not the file, since changing the slicing setting change the amount and location of the gaps.

I used 'merge all outlines in a single model', which improve the result, but the gaps still remains

Its extremely difficult to offer any sensible assistance when you have nothing but an image of the preview to go on. Please attach a factory file....this will allow someone to view EXACTLY how you have things set up..and they'll be able to offer EXACT changes you can make.
