Kind of new to 3d printing and I’ve been having an issue with a print on my Flashforge creator pro. pic 1

As you can see it looks like several layers have small gaps where the fiilament has skipped over.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Thanks!

If you are new to 3D printing, make sure you always check if your model has 3D printing errors before printing something out. Try running it through MakePrintable to see if there are any errors with your model. If still doesn’t work then it could be a heating issue that’s causing this problem.

What speed are you running at? And how thick are the walls? I recently ran into a problem with an STL file someone sent me where a portion of it’s walls were too thin and the printer left a hole.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your suggestions, and sorry for the slow update. The issue turned out to be under-extrusion caused by the fliament getting tangled and not feeding into the printer correctly. I’ve been able to resolve this issue now and get smooth prints!
