mendel tunning

Hello,

I just have finished to build a reprap prusa mendel tricolour (kit from reprappro).

For now I just concentrate in single extruder printing.

Please take a look at the picture attached to this post. What could cause the gaps between layers? How could I correct this?

Also I have a 0.5mm nozzle, i it possible to reduce the layer height?

Cheers

you need to tell us which settings you used in your slicer program, layer hight, perimert count, infill .... without this information we have to gues

Hello,

Thank you for your reply, please find below some settings:

carve settings:
edge Width over Height ratio = 1.8
Extra decimal Places float = 2.0
Import Coarseness ration = 1.0
Layer height mm = 0.4
layers from index = 0
Layers to index 912345678
mesh type = Correct Mesh

inset setings:
Infill in direction of Bridge = ticked
Infill Width over Thickness ratio = 1.65
Loop Order Choice = Ascnding area
Overlap Removal Width over Perimeter Width ratio = 0.6
Volume fraction ration = 0.82

...

There are tones of parameters, I do not know where to start

As I just started with skeinforge and 3D printing whch reading would you advice?
