holes in layers above honeycomb infill

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

My observation is that I get holes relative to the honeycomb size.
At 15% infill, the top layer might get some holes..
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)

I just always set my top infill to 4 layers. No holes.

My infill is set at 25%, so I added a 4th top layer. We'll see how that does.

See [forums.reprap.org] where I reported that the layer on top of infill is treated like a bridge except for speed.
