100% Infill Problem

Hi all,

I have issues with S3D trying to get 100% Infill. Despite setting it to 100% it's not actually doing it but making the infill pattern just very small.
See the images attached. Can someone help me so it makes actual 100% infill?

set internal fill pattern to rectilinear

Some infill patterns simply won't be "100%" due to their design pattern.

I use 9999 bottom layers when I want a solid part. I find it works better than infill.

I tried that already. It is not solid - it basically under extrudes

Yeah basically what I did is to set "Include solid diaphragm every" to 1. This will also make solid infill, but it feels like a hack. I thought there were better options...

My point was that some infill types such as Honeycomb simply won't do a solid infill. It is not designed to. You need to use rectilinear for solid infill or a huge amount of top/bottom layers.

yeah makes sense, but rectilinear does also only look solid, but has a different extrusion width. Thanks in any way though!

It shouldn't have a different extrusion width unless it is set different on the infill tab. What are you seeing to make you think it is different? I am curious!
