Infill Extrusion Width Question

If I set the infill extrusion width to something over 100% does it also change the spacing of the infill extrusions? i.e. move them further apart as you increase the % over or in excess of 100?

Re: Infill Extrusion Width Question

What happens is that the width of the extrusion and the pitch of adjacent extrusions are changed by the same amount. Change to 50% and you get twice the number of extrusions per inch/mm...and change to 200% and you get half as many extrusions per inch/mm. And the extrusions should touch each other (or not touch each other if your extrusion multiplier is set low) in exactly the same way.

Re: Infill Extrusion Width Question

Doug, when would it be appropriate to change this?
