Top layer wont print As you can see on the pictures the prints are unfinished and i can see the infill. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my settings? I use Repetier-host and Slic3r 1.1.7.

If i use a thickness of 0.33mm i get one pass of the head on the wall.
If i use 0.66mm i get a double pass of the head so double thickness.
These values wer by experimentation.]]> gordonendersby Printing Mon, 15 Sep 2014 10:28:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,407499#msg-407499 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,407499#msg-407499 P4d0uch Printing Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:15:50 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,407466#msg-407466 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,407466#msg-407466 Also how many perimiters are you doing on this part? It almost looks like you only do one perimiter.

Might try 2-4% lower and try again.]]> Floyd Printing Thu, 11 Sep 2014 08:43:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405872#msg-405872 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405872#msg-405872 //edit1: the flow rate made prints better but the major problem was the shell thickness. The walls are ok now.

edit2: i have another problem now. I cant level the bed. The z-axis is shifted or something because when i set my z to 0 and my nozzle is in correct position on every 4 corners the print is just mess. The nozzle is too high.

edit3: my latest prints. the dimensions are almost perfect the y axis is spot on and the x-axis is just 0.1mm off. I am happy now :)]]> P4d0uch Printing Thu, 11 Sep 2014 01:43:03 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405775#msg-405775 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405775#msg-405775
Glad Cura corrected the problem on the layer. Its my go to slicer.]]> Floyd Printing Wed, 10 Sep 2014 17:29:07 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405681#msg-405681 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405681#msg-405681 these two parts should fit in each other. But the smaller one is way bigger then it should be. I have got this printer with 0.7 nozzle.

I've got the printer for 4 days. It needs some calibration. Ok i will try cura. Thanks
Why try to print anything without calibrating first?
Calibrate then try to worry about slicing errors.]]> Floyd Printing Wed, 10 Sep 2014 13:20:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405606#msg-405606 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405606#msg-405606 chngyian Printing Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:15:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405566#msg-405566 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405566#msg-405566 P4d0uch Printing Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:32:16 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405556#msg-405556 Re: Top layer wont print https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,405502,405556#msg-405556 Try another slicer like Cura and see what your results are.
