Please add percentage setting for overlap of top layer/walls

There are many times when flow ratio is perfect as it is. There just happens to be pinholes on the top layer, and any further increase to flow ratio will result in nozzle scars and scratches on the top layer instead of a great top layer.

The fix for this situation can be increasing the overlap between the top layer infill and the wall of the top layer. Superslicer calls this "“infill/perimeter overlap” (PS) or "“infill/perimeters encroachment” (SS).

My request is this feature be simplified to “Infill/Perimeter Overlap” and be put into the strength section with top/bottom shells and be a percentage adjustment. I believe Orca/Bambu’s internal default for this as is, is 25%

I do understand there is the infill/wall overlap feature, set to 15%, in Orca and Bambu, but that is not for the top layer.

Here is the effect, courtesy of Ellis’ print tuning guide.


Turn on “Develop mode” in the settings, then “Monotonic line travel extend” will appear as an option under Strength → Advanced. This should be what you’re looking for.

The variable name in the setting files is monotonic_travel_into_wall.

The default value depends on the printer:
45% for the H2 series and P2S
0% for all other Bambu printers

The 45% default caused my H2D to print the top infill over the edge of the print on round corners.
Not cool. That should probably remain at 0% by default, especially if it is a hidden developer setting.
