[SOLVED] Gaps at starting and stopping points

[SOLVED] Gaps at starting and stopping points - Bowden tube I've got my printer calibrated to the point I can print things quiet nicely. Just one issue though: [attachment 34900 IMG_6234.JPG] When slic3r decides to print the files as lots of dots next to each other the dots aren't touching each other. I'm using a bowden cable (50-60cm long) with a retraction of 6mm at 30mm/sec. Parts are coming out as they should be, except that the top infill is slightly empty, even after calibrating extrusion width properly.

Cura says: 2.46 hours
Slic3r says: 1.58 hours

Slicing times are way high with Slic3r though, so I coined the name 'Slowc3r' last week.]]> Ohmarinus Printing Mon, 23 Jun 2014 19:06:37 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,372373#msg-372373 Re: [SOLVED] Gaps at starting and stopping points - Bowden tube https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,372373#msg-372373 Ive used KissSlicer but im using Cura now. Much faster to post the code and the output is "smarter"
Slic3r has a bad habbit of making funny moves and taking longer to print because of it.]]> Floyd Printing Fri, 20 Jun 2014 08:28:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,372224#msg-372224 Re: [SOLVED] Gaps at starting and stopping points - Bowden tube https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,372224#msg-372224 diytechshop Printing Thu, 19 Jun 2014 20:22:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,370029#msg-370029 Re: Gaps at starting and stopping points - Bowden tube https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,370029#msg-370029
Btw, Cura is FOSS and so much slicker to use than slic3r.]]> TheTechnicalNoob Printing Sun, 15 Jun 2014 05:19:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,369629#msg-369629 [SOLVED] Gaps at starting and stopping points - Bowden tube https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,369629,369629#msg-369629
