fill not going to perimiter
April 11, 2013 07:48AM
hello all, I am printing with two perimeters and then solid fill
on one end of the fill line it will touch the perimeter line nicely .
on the other it is slightly short leaving a gap.
this means the the perim easily peels off when I have finished my part.
could somebody please help
regards roger.

decrease nozzle size used in slicer to reduce perimeter wall width, or increase flow in 2-5% increments. experiment and calibrate.

Check your belts are tight, it could be backlash.

Make sure your calibrated to your filament in your slicing program. Measure filament in several places and enter into your slicing program.
This solved part of my same problem along with a backlash issue in one direction.

hi all,
will try to increase the flow rate first I think (fixing backlash sounds a bit scarier)
on repitier I have a feedrate and a flow rate multiplier - do I set one or both or ???
thanks,
roger.

flow rate multiplier. This increases or decreases extruded material.


feedrate multiplier makes the printer run quicker, but flow stays relative to the speed.

you want to change flow rate. also i think you will want to look at settings in slic3r not repetier gui.
