Re: Option to use bridging settings for first solid top layer above infill

I yet again ran into this issue just recently when I forgot to reduce the speed above the infill for a print. I thought I would share a picture to better illustrate how bad this problem can be. The picture is of the same part printed with exactly the same print settings, with the exception that the ...

Re: Gyroid fill pattern

+1
Excellent idea! If not gyroid, at least some kind of other 3D infill that changes vertically and that is strong in all directions would be fantastic.

Re: Option to use bridging settings for first solid top layer above infill

Doing a bit more research, it turns out that I'm not the first person to think of this. There are threads on Slic3r's github page about this same issue from all the way back in 2012: https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/issues/240 Additionally, it appears to have already been reported here on the Simpli...

Option to use bridging settings for first solid top layer above infill

It would be very useful to have a checkbox added either on the layers tab or the Other tab under the bridging section that would cause the slicer to use bridging settings (speed, extrusion multiplier, etc) for the first top solid layer above infill. I have noticed very frequently that when the infil...

No longer able to set external fill angle in version 3?

In version 3 it appears that it is no longer possible to set the external rectilinear fill angle as it was in version 2, just the internal fill angle. The Infill Angle Offsets on the Infill tab of the process settings used to apply to both the Internal and External fill. Instead, now the rectilinear...

Re: Perimeter Shell in a different order Print

I fully agree that this is a badly needed improvement. Being able to print all shells of perimeters at once should at least be added as an option. This may not be much of an issue with direct-drive extruders, but as already mentioned, it definitely is not ideal with bowden extruders. I have a very l...
