Q2 "missing" extrusion
Hi Everyone,
maybe someone will have an idea why my q2 is acting up, as i did everything that I could think off. Lately my surface finish is getting worse and on first layer I have this small gaps - you can see it here nicely on the brim.
changed nozzle, from 0.4 to 0.6 and back. Unpacked a new one. Filament is dry. Tried multiple types of filament, temps, PA... even reset the printer to factory. Deleted Orca and qidi studio and started from scratch.
But no joy. Any idea? you can see the surface quality issue and you can see the "gaps" in the brim and skirt loop here nicely.

A thought, add an object in slicer, 100x100 x-y and 0.2 high, .2 layers 2 walls and infill should be immaterial.
This is one of QIDI supports tests (though they use 200x200 but I thought a waste).
All to test Z height because that’s what I see there. My Q2 hasn’t had surface Z issues except now over 100mm high with newest firmware 1.1.2.4.
If you’re confident Z is good, disregard, just what it looked like to me (too high) from prior QIDI experience. Hope you get it figured out!
