Solid infill every xx layers (like in Prusa Slicer)

[schnuffi]

Hi everyone,

does anybody know, if there is any option to activate this function in Bambu Studio?

Regards Dennis

Dear Bambu LAB,

is it possible to put this feature into your slicer?

I think this would be a awesome feature.

Awesome? Prusa barely thinks it is useful.

This feature allows you to force a solid layer after every given number of layers. This can be useful to increase the strength of the printed part, however other options, such as increasing the number of perimeters or infill percentage are preferred. Another application would be to create separate internal cells in order to increase thermal insulation.

Bridging across infill it is hard to see how a single layer is going to be very solid.

I too would like to see the ability to print solid infill as needed by specifiying a start layer and an ending layer over a small range. I have some models that have a small diameter where they contact larger surfaces. They tend to fail unless I print solid infill yet they only take up about 3% of the total volume. So printing solid infill for 97% of the model where it’s not necessary wastes a lot of material.

You can achieve something similar (or even better?) by cutting the print into objects and modifying the infill for each

For a single planar cut, that would be feasible. But, for example, to insert a solid layer every 10mm into a cylinder with 100mm height, you’d have to cut, then split, cut one again, split, … and so on. But it isn’t finished there, as splitting sets all objects to Z=0.

I just installed and used PrusaSlicer to use that feature.

I would like to request this feature too. I have structural loads in a single direction and Aligned Rectilinear infill is very appropriate to carry those loads. However, I would like to tie the infill together every so often at a frequency of my choosing (e.g. 20mm apart)… very simple in PrusaSlicer, just enter the layer frequency.

Yes, this would be nice thanks for certain infills.
