PLA issue - see pics

Hi

Can’t figure out what the problem is in these pics - PLA printing neatly but with a pattern of holes in.

Any guidance for a solution appreciated.

Looks like it is under-extruding what with it being so equal.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I think it is - have upped the extrusion stepper rate. Still extruding more in pulses than a smooth flow, but maybe that’s normal.

Hello @BZbz …! :wave:

Welcome to the Creality Forum…! Creality

Have you tried other filament rolls with same results…?

What kind of PLA is that…

Temps…?

Any Mods…?

Hi
Having tried new filament by a different manufacturer, upping the e steps on the extruder, changing the nozzle and checking it was clear, it now seems the drive belt needed re-tensioning.
So, the problem has been solved by both upping the extrusion rate (e steps) combined with re-tensioning the main belt :slight_smile:
