Top layers not printing right

[goodBEan]

I don't know what this is called or what the source of the problem is, but when I print in abs the last couple of layers are not printing right. I would see holes or gabs in the last couple of layers.



Also attached is my ABS profile from octopriint

Looks like underextrusion and not enough cooling but i may be wrong. I am new to 3D printing so take what i say with gloves

What are you using to slice your model? You may just need to add a few more solid top layers.

I am using the slicer built into octopi.
http://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/bun ... /cura.html

I looked through the slicer profiles and don't see anything for top/bottom layers counts

You may want to download the desktop version of cura and try slicing with that (octoprint uses the cura engine for slicing but you don't have nearly as much control over it). You'll be able to tweak all kinds of things, including how many top solid layers there are.

I thinking the slicer is missing some options. A while back I had to go into the text editor to make adjustments to the profiles for supports.

Luckly for me there is an octoprint plugin I can use.

I am liking this slicer, real nice. The thing is I am still in the testing phase. I finally got the new setup tuned so that cura is working with my duplicator properly (last issue was the diamater).

Initially I avoided it because I thought it would only work on ultramaker machines
