do you meen infill overlap percentage... this one is now 10%
go a tad higher....25% is not that much
flip it over an look at your line pattern.... judge the width

oke i will raze to 25%
Had to zoom WAY in...is that every other line that is short? (of touching/filling in completely?
short segment fill parameter could be reduced to a smaller size (depending on t he slice used)

its look like every other line .. or its a starting point or the end
does the infill line look like it overlaps at all or just barely?

i have also skin overlap percentage 30% ... but when i pull at the side i can not get it lose ... and it was just a first layer so it is connected
I'm assuming you've don an extrusion calibrarion? (# of millimeters fed in and adjust the # of extruders steps)
comments from another forum..... (again depends on slicer used)
(c-a-p)
Fyi in Cura infill overlap only effects the infill layers not the top/bottom layers. For top/bottom layers you're looking at Skin Overlap.
But in your case, the gaps are there because the size is smaller than your nozzle. For your case I think you want print thin walls enabled, Compensate wall overlaps, and Fill gaps between walls. You also might want to disable Filter out tiny gaps.

oke thanks i will ajust it... and try
i see also the initial layer bottom flow setting ..
This kind of looks like the picture shown here where the first layer height is a little too high. https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/first_layer_squish.html. I would look at the rest of the article where Ellis does an Excellent! description of dialing in a printer. I have also seen something similar to this when my pressure advance was too high but I would go for the basics first before messing around with this.
