External Fill Pattern Infill Angle Offsets

You are able to add infill angle offsets for the internal fill pattern.

I would like this feature adding to the external one as well please as when I use the rectilinear option, I am left with tiny little holes where the filament hasn't over lapped. I know I can fix this by increasing the extrusion multiplier but an easy fix was to add 0 and 90 to the offset which would cover up the tiny holes left in the part.

I can send you an image but would need an email address to send it to as I cant upload my image on here.

I personally would prefer each layer not have gaps, covering existing ones instead of fixing the incorrect multiplier seems like it would use more filament in the long run.

I could be wrong, but I thought the external fill layers are printed perpendicular to the previous... creates a cross-hatch type effect.

You're right, they are definitely printed perpendicular.

Re: External Fill Pattern Infill Angle Offsets

When using the older version. 2.X

If you was to edit the infill angle offsets, this would work for both the inner and out layer assuming you used the rectilinear option for the infill. This was one of my favorite tricks as it allowed me to cover up the little gaps while keeping the multiplier low so I got a really good part finish without the added "blobs" from the extruder drooling out filament between gaps.

In the new version, this isn't the case which I personally think needs to be added back in.
