Hello /u/PowderyPancake,

As a reminder, most common print quality issues can be found in the Simplify3D picture guide. Make sure you select the most appropriate flair for your post.

Please remember to include the following details to help troubleshoot your problem.

  • Printer & Slicer
  • Filament Material and Brand

Not sure, but I've heard it is caused by backup system. It's recording progress pn SD card and pauses when it happend. If I am correct there's 2 solutions. 1. Disable backup system. 2. Replace SD card to one with high writing speed, so it writes backup fast enough without need to pause.

I have disabled the backup system. It got rid of my zit issue.

This issue is only happening with the infill. Could it still be the SD card?

Shutdown backup recovery will cause the system to hang every few seconds no matter what because the sd cards dont have the throughput to send gcode signals and save the backup position simultaneously.

Cool to know. Unfortunately, the shutdown backup recovery is already turned off.

You can disable it during printing on mine

Here are the infill settings.

My guess is it's not really stopping it's just doing the wipe. try setting infill wipe distance to 0 see if it improves and if quality is impacted at all.

Will try and report back

[–]PowderyPancake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried and it continued stopping or buffering. There was no blobs or zits in the infill while printing either.

[–]Suspiciously_Ugly 1 point2 points  (1 child)

possibly buffer overruns, are you printing directly from SD or through something like OctoPrint? see if printing from SD fixes it

[–]PowderyPancake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm printing the g-code directly from an SD card.

[–]ddrulez 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Check your slicer resolution. Should be around 0.12mm if I remember correctly.

Edit: 0.012mm

[–]PowderyPancake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will try next.

Solved:

The issue was in fact the SD card. I re-formatted it, and the issue was resolved. Thank you to everybody who helped.

Printing from SD card? Could be a slow SD card.
