Cura gaps in prints

Post by Rotton1211 »

Hello,
I am using an Ender-5 and Cura 5. I never really had problems with my prints, but recently I have gaps in all of them in the x-y direction. Even in between of the walls are gaps now. Does anyone have an Idea how to fix it? The outer Dimensions of the parts are spot on so I dont want to increase the flow rate. And its not just the first layer.

It could be a value applied to the Cura Overlap.

Ok so what do you recommend changing?
Here are the printer Settings.

Based on the skirt line, your z offset looks good

You've already calculated your slicer flow settings?
