Fill Line Order and Small Shape Printing

Is it possible to :
- change the order in which the fill lines for solid layers are printed
- slow down the printing of small shapes on the same layer, for example: small screw holes in a large box
?
Thanks

I think not possible
I add that to slow down process of little part in the same layer, it is the same as slowing down print lines with low distances, lower it is, more "round" shape it is, more the slowness would apply

You can choose to print perimeters from the outside in or the inside out.

I give a try with both seetings on two same stl file during same print (two profiles) the result is the same, it is not solving the problem

It's not clear to me what problem you're having.

Re: Fill Line Order and Small Shape Printing

The idea is, on z same layer (example 1st layer), to print slowly (<20mm/s) the small shapes like 3mm holes and then on the long shapes as a box perimeters (example 30cm x4) go way faster

To win time
To gain quality on small shapes

Re: Fill Line Order and Small Shape Printing

The Prusa Slicr has a setting for speed on small features, but S3D does not. You can impact this some by using lower accelerations values on perimeter layers, so it takes longer to get up to speed - never achieves full speed on a small feature.
