This is a great idea. I would really appreciate this feature being added.

Re: Complex infill managment needed for large prints!

I think the easiest fix is to enable support generation on the inside, the same way that it works on the outside. The software is already smart enough, it knows the outside from the inside already! So we just need an option to enable internal support, as well as manually place new or remove existing supports. Would be great if the inside support could have its own separate settings too

Re: Complex infill managment needed for large prints!

I'd like to add my vote - manually adding a process break at every re-entrant curve is a right pain

Re: Complex infill managment needed for large prints!

I would like this, especially if you could define a max infill %, min infill % and a Thickness, ie dist between max and min so the density of infill is highest nearest walls & top/bottom and lowest in the centre where material is adding nothing than weight & cost. eg Max 30% min 10% with a thickness of 10mm. Would prob work best with a rectilinear / grid or a concentric circle & spoke style infill.

Cura just got this in 2.3 and it is awesome. Already missing it :(

Seems that similar logic to the "dense support layers" could be used. What I specifically want it for is just to support flat top layers that need something under them, not for strength for the whole print. So exactly the situation of the initial post and image.
