Re: Seeing gaps on thin walls

Hi Joe, Thanks for replying. I have already tried adjusting the thin wall infill gap overlap (see the OP). It won't trigger no matter how high I go. The second picture I posted has the infill gap overlap set to the maximum of 50%. Sam's suggestion seems to be working. I'll post a picture when the pr...

Re: Seeing gaps on thin walls

Thanks Sam! I'll try that. This won't be the first time I've cut and pasted gcode to get the right effect in the right areas, although it will be the first time I've had to do it with S3D.

Again, the wall thickness is 1.27mm and I have a 0.5mm nozzle. I've tried fixing this with one perimet...

I'll try a single perimeter and see how that works out. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7TvqgdkaqteUktFcFZ6MHRqcGcwR3RjbEF1aFU1enhYR3Y0/view...

Seeing gaps on thin walls

I am printing cookie cutters for a customer, and I am seeing gaps on the thin walls (see attached picture). I've set the gap fill overlap on the advanced tab to the maximum of 50%, and I still can't get S3D to fill the gap. The wall is 1.27mm (0.05") thick and my nozzle's diameter is 0.5mm. Any...
