Afterwards I put an M3 washer in place. The bearing doesn't spin as freely as I would expect, even with the washer, but I think it's OK now.

Well I haven't solved my gap problem. The outside walls are supposed top be solid.

That looks to me like a classic slic3r issue I have come across before, caused by the thickness of the wall being more than twice the extrusion width but less than three times the extrusion width. So slic3r can't generate extrusion between the two perimeters. Try making the wall thicker.

Yes Thank you David, I remembered that it could be to do with the wall thickness and I have increased it. I did the slicing in simplify3d so it's not just a slic3r issue.

It does not matter which slicing software you use. It is not geometrically possible to fill a gap that is thinner than the width of the extrusion. I suppose it would be possible for the software to detect that condition and extrude less to create a thinner extrusion, but only if the gap is somewhere close to the optimum extrusion thickness.

I don't quite agree - Simplify3d to gap fill better (on this model at least) than I was able to achieve with Cura and Slic3r, had to set extrusion width to 0.45 to get it just right, this is tiny stuff! - tip of leg is 1,3mm

Erik, thank you. Is this screen shot simplify3d?

I dont have the option of Thin Wall Behavior on any screen. On the advanced tab, under Slicing Behavior I just have Non-manifold segments - discard - heal....
