    smithnovel reacted to Levent in 3D printer always has gaps between lines   
    Hi there, I am having this weird issue with my Anet A8. I am using Marlin 1.1.8 (for some reason 1.1.9 has issues with stepper drivers and it cant move extruder when heatbed pid is enabled)
    I have heatbed and nozzle pid set. I use a glass on top of the heatbed and its secured nicely. Belts are tight (almost feel like a bass guitar at this point) Printer is zeroed perfectly (using A4 paper) I have tried 3 different 0.4mm nozzles and even made sure they were 0.4mm (using vape wires) I have tried different PLA filaments (although from the same company and same production batch and all the filaments I have are over 2 months old), different temperatures. I have tried different extrusion multipliers in simplify3d this although fixed gaps resulted in major over extrusion. I have calibrated the steps per mm of the extruder. Issue persists on all layers not just first layer, and top layer always comes up scarred and sometimes underextruded. I have tried using stock anet a8 profile of marlin and S3d and I just get over extrusion. I made sure everything slides smoothly and there are no hiccups Carriage thingy is leveled. I am really lost at this point, any help is appreciated.
    I'll add a photo in a sec.
