Concentric infill pattern

[fantome]

I've used concentric infil and it does go round and round if the object is round. The extruder follows the outline of the object.
I set the infill to 100 % though. It doesn't just do the top layers, it does every layer if the infill is set to 100%.

This is the same setting that we use to print circular gaskets with NinjaFlex and it works the best. We do use sometimes rectaliniar infill less than 100% when we have to, but the best results are always when the extruders does not has to stop at any moment and just keeps moving until the print is finished as far as possible.
With that and with all speeds at 100% and very few retraction we get some very good results with NinjaFlex.

well I am going back into my box.

I realise that the design of the model made it appear that the whole part was being filled in the manner of concentric. the walls were just thin enough to make it look like it was doing so.

epic fail

sorry for my little rant and I stand corrected.

cheers guys

i print a crap load of ninjaflex. enough that i buy it from fenner by the case. the way to get clean prints with that is to do what you can to avoid jumps. unfortunately your model needs support so avoiding jumps is almost impossible. joe is right though. concentric is only for top and bottom layers. that never changed anything as far as the interior infill goes. do you have an old gcode or factory file of this tire from 2.2.2 that you could share?

I will do. I usually save one of everything. you'd be more than welcome to give it a go.

I do this as my computer smked me out and comitted suicide whilst i didn't have a back up so a 1000 hrs of cad designs and printer files just went "SEE YAH!"
