Hello guys, I've been printing for a while and recently I started stumbling upon this issue where the top layers would not print properly on a ascending order. In the picture you can kind of see that it was printing fine until it just stops extruding properly at all. Its printing the walls fine and anything else. This is my second print where I've slowed everything down a bit more

#

Can anyone help me find to what could cause this problem?

#

Is the infil too low? Its 10%

#

To print this piece I had to print on a lower layer height (0.10mm)

Yes infill is too low for that. You'll also have a hard time getting good bridging with a 0.1 layer height and a 0.4 nozzle.

Check the gcode preview and see if there is a change where it starts to look worse. Check layer heights, layer times, fan speed etc.

Thank you for a really fast reply I really appreciate it. I cant troubleshoot right away but I will

I think I found out why it was failing

#

When I use the object settings to modify the base layer height from 0.2 to 0.1

#

The perimeters of top layer height change to 1 instead of 3

#

Without me even modifying that

#

Here is the part the modifier

#

and here without the modifier

#

There are n o solid layers supporting the part whatsoever

#

hence the part is failing
