    Using S3D. Printing with 0.1 layer with PLA @ 205 c with 55 c bed.

    Perimeter shells = 2
    Top solid layers = 8
    Default printing speed = 2800 mm/min
    Retraction distance = 2.6 mm
    Retraction speed = 3000 mm/min

    @Jimmy Husain That appears to be a parts cooling issue, When too many hot layers are placed in too little time, you can get small sections that look exactly like that.

    Yeah I guess that is the issue. I'll try asking on the S3D forum see what I can find there.

    Set a minimum time per layer. S3D will then make it take longer for printing the small layers giving the fan time to work.

    Its in the cooling tab. Layers that take less than x seconds are slowed down x %

    For fine features like that you'd benefit from dual parts cooling fans.

    Run the deprime test object a few times to calibrate retraction settings
