I just printed a small gear part for Greg's Wade extruder.
The overall print quality is alright, however I can see there's some void between the center hole and the gear teeth.

I don't think it's print quality/calibration issue; I've also printed the big gear and extruder main body, they all look very solid.
At this point I suspect this has something to do with the extrusion width. If it is, would there be a smart way of figuring out the correct extrusion width based on the size/shape of the object, instead of doing it by trail and error?
If it's not because of the extrusion width setting.. what could this be?
