Hi Guys, Please can you tell me what is wrong that I have gaps between my layers on the vase. I have attached a photo.

What is the nozzle size? If it's a .35 then you can't expect to get a good print at .30, try .25. If the nozzle is a .50 then that number is OK. Also speed may be a factor, depending on your printer more complex shapes will come out better at slower speeds. Try 60 instead of 90.]]> tmorris9 General Fri, 03 Jul 2015 18:00:11 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528734#msg-528734 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528734#msg-528734
I would guess one of the following:
1) Too thin wall thickness. If i'm not wrong it's a single wall print? The layers might not be deposited properly due to small variance in filament thickness or a slightly off extruder step calibration. Try printing with 2 or 3 layer wall thickness
2) Too high layer height. There might be very sharp bends in between the layers for it to be deposited properly. Try a lower layer height
3) Insufficient heating. The layers might cool too much and warp, but least likely if you'd ask me since you're using PLA. It doesn't warp as much as ABS.]]> chngyian General Fri, 03 Jul 2015 12:27:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528544#msg-528544 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528544#msg-528544 thetazzbot General Thu, 02 Jul 2015 19:27:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528484#msg-528484 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528484#msg-528484
1. PLA
2. Temp 210
3. Speed 90
4. Bed temp 60
5. layer height 0.3

Strange thing is when printing 25mm test cube , the layer came out perfectly .

Not sure what other info i can give]]> scubi General Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:43:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528477#msg-528477 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528477#msg-528477
Material?
Temp?
Speed?]]> thetazzbot General Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:28:12 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528476#msg-528476 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528476#msg-528476 thetazzbot General Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:26:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528472#msg-528472 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,528472,528472#msg-528472 Please can you tell me what is wrong that I have gaps between my layers on the vase.
