Changing the Direction / Angle of the Infill Support Bridging?

[pbjwm]

I’m currently trying to find the best infill settings to print Transparent PETG.

Typically to get the best transparency, you need to print it slow, and either 100% Aligned Rectilinear Infill or No infill at all, if possible.

Unfortunately, not only is 100% infill wasteful, but it also makes the print much heavier.

I’m aware that you can already change the infill direction.

I have 2 main issues:
The first problem is that this infill direction also affects the Top and Bottom Surfaces direction as well. Technically surfaces aren’t really considered ‘infill’, so there really should be a separate option for that. You can kinda fix this by making modification layers, but since the ‘Top Surface’ can be in many different layers of the print, this is not realistic.

My second issue, that’s inspiring this post, is the automatic support bridges that shows up when the infill reaches a section that bridges over it. (See picture)

Here are the settings themselves if you’re interested.

Wait for a future version.

Orca slicer recently added the ability to change infill rotation.

It gives you the ability to set the rotation and range, with multiple sets stacked.

Do you think this will affect the support bridging direction? (I’m referring to the red text/arrows in my picture)
I don’t even know what setting affects the support bridging in the first place.

There isn’t a setting to affect the support bridging currently, I have not heard of one for that specifically.

To differentiate two different things:

• Infill
• Support bridging

The new feature in Orca slicer affects the infill direction.

The support bridging sits on top of this prior to bridging areas, although in your specific example the bridging isn’t the same as unsupported bridging.

The infill support direction would be affected by the rotated infill.
