I am seeing holes on the solid layers on top of honeycomb infill. I'm thinking that the printer may be going too fast over the infill so the filament is snapping and leaving holes. Each successive layer looks better than the first but the holes never go away completely. How do I slow down the speed for the first solid layer on top of infill? I thought it was this setting: Top solid infill:, but I've changed that setting from 75% to 50% and can't tell any difference. Not sure if this setting actually does anything Is there a way to do this? I really don't want to slow down all layers if I don't have too. thanks dave https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,314600,314600#msg-314600 Tue, 19 May 2026 03:18:47 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,314600,315117#msg-315117 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,314600,315117#msg-315117 forums.reprap.org] where I reported that the layer on top of infill is treated like a bridge except for speed.]]> jameson Slic3r Sun, 23 Feb 2014 18:34:40 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,314600,314669#msg-314669 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,314600,314669#msg-314669

When flat, it will be solid only after the 3rd top infill and onward.

So increasing the infill % (thus making the honeycombs smaller,) will get better surface.
Increasing the number of top layers will do too.

Finally, you could increase the flow of rthe top layers, by the advanced screen. This means increasing the extrusion per percentage of the layer defaults. (More plastic)
