Squiggly interior wall in front of inside perimeter on 3dBenchy

[xnaron]

What cases this squiggly wall on the 3dbenchy. Infill is set to 0%. See attached profile.

Can you please attach your factory file (Save Factory File As...)?

It won't let me it says file too large. 4,407 KB is the size.

For some reason S3D is adding some infill for top/bottom layers on the inside of overhangs pretty fast.

You can change the amount of top/bottom layers and/or extrusion width/perimeter count to see some differences:

There's so many perimeters and so much overlap, I wonder why those parts of solid infill need to be there. On some
objects this can add a lot of print time without real benefits...

FWIW, this was also different in previous versions of S3D (<4.1):

Same file/settings in S3D v4.1.2:

Reducing bottom layers from 5 down to 3 avoids this in 4.0 (v4.1.2 needs bottom layers set to 1):

Hi there
I've just replyed to another older thread here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11780&e=1&view=unread#p57387
I'm using 4.1.2 as well and can't find a consitent way to work around this. With some objects it works by having nbr of bottom=perimeter, with others it has no effect. The uppside-down recommendation from above thread does also not work with all objects.

Did anyone reach out to support of S3D about this yet? I would if no one did so far.

I think we have a couple other threads where this is covered in more detail so I have included the links below:

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14020

Basically when you are printing surfaces at an angle they create a stairstep. Each step of the stairs is a top or bottom of the part so it must satisfy the Top and Bottom Layer Settings you have. Dkightley does a great job describing this with his diagrams in the second link I included above.

I think this post of mine tells the story behind this issue :

Thank you guys - Trying to get my head around your explenations.

I'm trying to understand what the above and the graphs you guys created (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13796&p=52184#p52168) mean for the model I use as an example.

In the cross section view I cant seem to see what you are explaining. What am I missing? Is it coincidence this starts building up where bridging happens on the outermost perimeter?
