[FIXED] Infill - No solid layers or Perimeter

Need help creating an infill profile with the following:

Infill Percentage = 30%
Top Solid Layers = 0
Bottom Solid Layers = 0
Outline/Perimeter Shells = 0

The entire object should be printed as infill (needed to create a very porous structure). When I attempt this no tool paths are generated. Thanks.

Re: Infill - No solid layers or Perimeter

I have try it with a simple cylinder - but not successful.
I think, it is not possible, Infill is infill of a body and without perimeters it doesn't print anything.

Possible solution:
1st. - construction of a grid like infill

2nd. - print it with watersoluble filament for the perimeters; after printing put it in water and the perimeters disappear.

Re: Infill - No solid layers or Perimeter

I’m happy to state that this issue should be resolved now in the latest 4.1.0 release. Our team successfully tested many factory files from threads mentioning this issue. You can now generate toolpaths for infill even when perimeters are set to 0. This was just one of many improvements to the software. All of which are detailed on our Release Notes page.

Thank you for your help reporting this issue!
