Yes 1.75 Thanks

I don't believe it is 1.75 exact. Maybe something between 1.65 - 1.70

What slicer do you use? and What nozzle?

I had similar issues when i let Slic3r decide extrusion width automatically based on nozzle size.
I had to define all widths the same as my nozzle and use a digital caliper to measure my 1.75 filament was actually 1.7

Also, is that your first layer in the picture?
You want to make it 150 - 200% in the Slic3r, because the first layer is what you define it + the real distance between the nozzle and the bed.]]> Veesta Prusa i3 and variants Tue, 18 Oct 2016 08:19:34 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,714857#msg-714857 Re: Prints not solid https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,714857#msg-714857 Dust Prusa i3 and variants Tue, 18 Oct 2016 00:47:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713953#msg-713953 Re: Prints not solid https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713953#msg-713953 MiniMfg Prusa i3 and variants Fri, 14 Oct 2016 14:54:14 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713762#msg-713762 Re: Prints not solid https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713762#msg-713762 msaeger Prusa i3 and variants Thu, 13 Oct 2016 21:44:25 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713645#msg-713645 Re: Prints not solid https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713645#msg-713645
Solution:
1. Increase torque by adjusting the voltage to your stepper motor
2. Calibrate your extruders step/mm
3. Print slower]]> DaGameFace Prusa i3 and variants Thu, 13 Oct 2016 10:15:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713510#msg-713510 Re: Prints not solid https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713510#msg-713510 http://reprap.org/wiki/Triffid_Hunter's_Calibration_Guide]]> blt3dp Prusa i3 and variants Wed, 12 Oct 2016 16:21:39 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713470#msg-713470 Prints not solid https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,713470,713470#msg-713470
