Question About Perimeters

Hi All, I just wanted to understand Perimeters. Lets say I want to print 2 or more perimeters. Are Perimeter supposed to bond together or are these supposed to be separate layers where I can pull them apart? Perimeters are strong but do not bond together. if I specify lets say, 3 perimeters then I g...

Supports not printing right HELP!

The supports support the part enough to get the job done. But the supports should be solid. I am thinking.guessing this might be a slicing set...

Re: Print Orientation

Here is a picture of one part I am trying to print. I tried designing this part as a 20mm x 20mm extrusions that make up the frame. But that is just to thick and big @ 50% infill. I tried designing it as a 10mm x 10mm Extrusion and that is just not strong enough. Breaks easily. My last print I desig...

New Infill Patterns

There is the new Aligned Infill Pattern. I can't find any information on this new Pattern. Maybe it is supposed to be simple enough that no explanation is required. I would like a video that explains the new Changes/feature in the Infill section. I wondered if I have to select the infill pattern the...

Re: V5 Infill Internal/External angle offsets?

In CURA you can specify infill as one direction and the next layer have the infill print in another direction. or whatever you like. It is pretty simple to use. I hope they add back something like this to Simplify3D. Overall I like the interface, and supports are sooo much easier to remove in Simpli...
