All,
I am trying to print a rc plane and am having some issues slicing.
There are 2 main issues:
1)
At the tail end of the wing it looks like overshooting
The whole wing looks great but about 3 to 4 areas show a little gap.
I hope anyone can point me in the correct setting to resolve the 2 issues and I can finish printing me plain

Hi there,
Did you create the model yourself? Did you get any warnings importing it?
Are your slicer settings all stock?
How thin is the edge where it seems to be messing up?
Welcome the community.
What you’re seeing is the slicer telling you that the resolution of the model is below that of the extruder setting. So let’s say you are using a 0.40 extruder but you’re trying to extrude a 0.04 line. The slicer will simply not render those lines.
You can try to increase wall loops and/or thickness and see if you get a different result.
Aren’t rc planes supposed to be printed in vase mode? I think at least the gaps (if you mean the crosses) are there to add internal structure.
The overshooting seems to be the trailing edge of the wing being too narrow. If the designer didn’t put a nice fillet there but a very sharp edge it will create a single line add-on which in this case will turn out ugly/weak. You can also play with the wall generator:
And enabling/disabling detect thin walls to see if it eliminates the “overshooting”:
The last setting is not always available depending on the first. Good luck!
Thank you everyone for the help.
Solution has been found. "Turning OFF the “Detect thin walls” did the trick for both problems.
Once again thank you all
