Hey guys. In having an issue I can't fix. The tops of my surfaces are just not filling in solid! The bottoms are solid due to 300% width, but when I put the top to 300% it still comes out as shown in the object on the right. Here's what I'm printing at
Nozzle: .4mm
PLA 190 degrees
.15mm height
My E steps per mm was 700 in Sprinter but not it's al the way up to 850 and I'm STILL getting those results.

Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

Are you sure the amount of extruded material is correct? It seems that there is simply material missing.

try slowing the print down. people think 3d printing is really fast. it can be but not on solid fills. slow the entire print down by 1/4 and see if your results improve. tweak settings from there!

What percent fill? What height is the object? If you use .2mm layers does it work better?

Are you sure your nozzle size is set correctly in your slicer? Double check it.
