medium📝 Analysis Q6 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify cause of gaps between lines
Gaps usually mean filament extrusion is insufficient, often due to wrong extruder steps calibration.Step 2: Select correct fix
'Check and recalibrate the extruder steps per mm' addresses extruder calibration; others do not directly fix extrusion gaps.Final Answer:
Check and recalibrate the extruder steps per mm -> Option AQuick Check:
Gaps between lines = Extruder steps calibration needed [OK]
Quick Trick: Gaps mean extruder steps need checking [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Thinking firmware update fixes extrusion gaps
- Assuming bed cleaning fixes gaps
- Increasing speed without fixing extrusion
