it took some time to get thru the proces of enabling topic creation but i got thru it seems
i designed a planter pot using CAD , and now i want to print it but i’m struggling with the internal solid infill , in my view it’s not needed with the settings i made but it seems like i cannot dissable it or am i overlooking something? planter1.3mf (3,2 MB)
3 walls and infill seems enough to me but in some locations the slicer adds internal solid infill , it consumes time and filament and i wish to get rid of it .
I didn’t see any infill when I downloaded and sliced it. I will say that you have some overhang on the top flat portion of the planter and I’m guessing that would need some support to print properly. I think that might be reason enough to use at least some infill. The infill shouldn’t add that much time or plastic to the project. Perhaps 5 or 10% would be good. Good luck.
I turned off all the Preview line types except solid infill to see what areas are being affected. Solid infill is used to provide better bonding between layers on sloping surfaces. The solid infill is essentially forming additional inner walls and can affect top and bottom surfaces.
Much of the solid infill in your model can be eliminated by turning off “Ensure vertical shell thickness”.
Your 3mf is set for 4 wall loops, not 3. Rather than try to eliminate the solid infill, I would probably reduce wall loops to 2. I would also consider adding a bit more strength with 5% cubic sparse infill.
thanks for the answers , if i set bottom and top layers to zero then the internal solid infill lines are gone , but occourse the model lacks a bottom and top
seems like there is no way around it i’m affraid …
i prefer 3 walls on the whole model instead of 2 and the spots with a 3th or even 4th layer of internal infill. it shows up on the outer surface where the extra layers are …
