Gaps in layers
I'm running mostly stock vCore 3.1: Rapido UHF (v1), LGX Lite (v1), RatOS 2.1 latest, etc. The most notable change is a CPAP fan but I had been running that before without issue. Using Overture PLA Black (doubt color matters much) and Orca slicer.
I've been trying to tune my printer to be faster and more accurate. I enabled performance mode and have been calibrating with that. I was about done with tuning and started seeing gaps in my walls in my non-calibration prints. I rolled back some of the more recent changes do see exactly what caused it but i was still having issues. I've gone pretty much back to the beginning and am still seeing gaps. Bed adhesion seems good. Doesn't look like it's under or over extruded for the rest of the print. I'm starting to wonder if it's my extruder at a hardware level. I've cleaned the gears and they weren't real dirty. Everything seems to be fine until it isn't and I'm not sure what is causing it to only gap sometimes. Obviously it's enough to at best cause ugly prints and at worst a total failure. So I need to get this sorted.
I've started printing PA towers to test apples-to-apples changes. I've removed the ptfe tube to the extrude (still has short extruder to hotend piece). I'm now pretty much to default settings in Orca and in the firmware and still having the issue. It's not even consistent when it starts. Most of the print looks great but at some point it starts to not supply enough filament.
Thanks for your help. I'm sure there's plenty I haven't thought of or have tried but don't remember.
