Gaps in first layer, but not in brim? (infosec.pub)

Hi all,

The attached photo is my brim (top) and first layer (bottom) after stopping the print. I've noticed that my brims look totally fine, but the first layer of the print itself has gaps between the lines.

How do I go about debugging this? I'm using Orcaslicer with an SV08 Max, and customizations I have during slicing include dropping the nozzle .2mm with the following Machine gcode:

G90 ; Absolute
G21 ; Use metric
M83 ; Use relative distances for extrusion
SET_GCODE_OFFSET Z=-0.2 MOVE=0

And a flow ratio of .96 with this ABS, which I commonly use on the Voron as well.

Thoughts?

Yea I'm beginning to wonder of flow rate isn't adjusted for the brim. I may do a test as you can see through the gaps.

The layer looks "OK" after but you can see the lines more than normal. The biggest failures are ABS coming off the plate during the print.

Well seeing as the brim is pretty smooth and properly filled I'm guessing it's not a machine bed leveling thing.

Wondering if your print preset is messed up. Go to the Quality tab with advanced settings in orca, and near the bottom there should be "bottom surface flow ratio" as well as "elephants foot compensation" (i think, going completely from memory here) You may need to turn up the flow ratio and/or down the foot comp to get the bottom layer squeezed together properly, the defaults with the sv08 profile might not be right for your particular plate.
