@phaedrux I tried prusa slicer. Same issue but elsewhere in the part.

Here is a close-up picture of the gap. The two perimeters are not touching at all with the other 3 lines. I also boosted the extrusion multiplier which did nothing at all.

@phaedrux I use an extrusion width of 0.4mm. My walls are 2mm thick which the wall should be composed of 5 lines of equal thickness. There should be no infill although Simplify3D thinks that the line between the inner and outer perimeter is a "thin wall". I currently have "allow extrusion fill" checked, and a perimeter overlap of 50%.

Here is my config:

Hello. A couple months ago, I made a post of a wall split in the x direction that occurred on the perimeters of my prints. After spending a lot of time diagnosing the issue, re-flashing the firmware seemed to fix the problem. About a month ago, the wall split issue re-appeared, but in the y direction. I tried re-flashing the firmware but that did not solve the issue. I'm not to sure what is the cause of this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Veti I tightened everything up. No difference at all. Closely watching my printer, it seems like it stops short when printing the first two perimeters hence the large gap. Im not sure what else to try.

@Veti I got those values from the calibration cube test. Ill check out the free-play of the X and Y axis.

Also using Overture PETG at 240 print temp, 80 degree heat, 40mm/s print speed.

Hello. For some time, I've been struggling with a minor print quality issue with my printer. With every print, there are gaps between the perimeter and infill, mostly in the X direction (seems like the inner two perimeters are offset from the third). I tried: tuning my slicer (Simplify3D), calibrating extrusion and X/Y steps, playing with belt tension, installing a new X axis belt, modifying my X carriage so it slides smoother, swapping X and Y axis motors, enabling pressure advance. I know it is not my slicer because my bone stock Ender 3 with the same settings does not have this issue. The print comes out great! Im not sure if the issue lies within my firmware.

It was the software. Updated it to 3.1.1 and the problem went away!

Hello. I recently just converted my Anet A8 motherboard to a duet wifi board. Once I set up the board, I followed my calibration process (PID tunes, extrusion calibration) and printed a test cube. However, near the end of the print (about 98% completion) my just printer stops on top of the print with the heaters off. The printer still says it is printing, its just not doing anything. I though it was the firmware so I upgraded it to RRF3. Same issue. Here is my g-code:

Thank you for your response! I'll start digging on those threads!!

Hello. 2 years ago I bought an Anet A8 as a starter printer. Over time I have upgraded pretty much everything (extruder, bearings, aluminum frame) except the stock electronics. I was planning on using my Anet for work related purposes when I noticed that the heat-bed connector on the main board started to melt when trying to print PETG. I could just replace the connector, but since I am using this printer for work I am interested in further upgrading the main board to a genuine Duet Wifi main board, as well as converting my printer to 24V. In addition, I would like to replace my V6 with a Chimera dual extruder. I was wondering if anybody has experience on wiring a Duet Wifi on a DIY printer, as well as converting to a 24V setup (more specifically, choosing the correct PSU)?

Thanks.
