How to Fix Thin Walls Breaking / Gaps in Thin Features

Step-by-step fix for thin walls breaking / gaps in thin features on Bambu Lab printers including X1C, H2D, P1S, and A1.

How do I fix thin walls breaking / gaps in thin features?

  1. 1

    Enable Arachne wall generator. Unlike classic mode, Arachne dynamically adjusts wall width to perfectly fill thin sections without leaving gaps.

    Setting: quality.wallGenerator

  2. 2

    Use a 0.2mm nozzle for fine details. Smaller nozzles can resolve thin walls and small features that a 0.4mm nozzle simply cannot print.

    Setting: Nozzle size

  3. 3

    Slow outer wall speed to 60–80 mm/s for thin features. High speeds cause the extruder to under-extrude on small, quick direction changes.

Pro tip: Select "High Print Resolution" above — it enables Arachne and recommends finer nozzle sizes for detailed geometry.
