Re: Ultimaker 2 Problem with thin walls

The Makerbot slicer does have a function called a 'spur', both internal and external. This is a perimeter pass that is not a full closed loop. With full loop perimeters, there is always an even number of perimeter passes across a part layer. With the internal spur function enabled, instead of droppi...

Re: Ultimaker 2 Problem with thin walls

While this behavior is common with slicers, requiring the part design to be changed to fit the extruded filament size, or playing around with the width of the extruded filament is not a very good solution. For what it's worth, Slic3r has a setting which can be used to fill in this gap (Infill/Solid ...
