Issue with prints

[theone8181]

Hi guys I print the odd thing on my Xmax 3D printer, however some stuff seems to be incomplete. I'm wondering if it's a wall thickness issue as it tends to be models that are thin in one plane. I tried an SSD from star wars so goes to a point and while the rear printed out fine, there were gaps towards the top (printed it vertical to reduce chance of warping). Any thoughts? I'm using the slicer software that came with it which I believe is just reskinned cura.

It's a bit hard to snap a pic as I'm using black filament. There's almost like a hollow where there's no filing, and when I watch the render if the print on screen that's sort of what it looks like, I'm just not sure why. That sound be triangular shaped.

I'll check when I get chance. The fan was on in the printer, however it's been out on the machine for a couple of months so not sure if that's causing problems too.

I'm not sure I've ever changed the line width.

Just checked, line width was .4. I had a look at the print and when it's rendered it looks hollow but not sure why, sometimes models just seem to not work.

I tried drying it for 6 hours. Was printing a small tie fighter which was perfect until it got half way up and then the print went off. Starting a fresh model had the same results I've switched over to some old abs I had but that's giving me issues too.
