Polar/Cylindrical Infill

An issue I've been battling lately is the infill for thin sections along a circle. At most angles, the print head cycles back and forth between the inner shells, but at 2 angles, plus/minus a degree or so, I essentially get a straight line between the inner shells.

It would be nice to have an infill pattern that prints material perpendicular to the tangent of the curve it's trying to fill.

What do you think? Is there a better way?

Cheers,

Re: Polar/Cylindrical Infill

Well you can change the infill angles, so if you want a different direction you can specify it. There are also other patterns like triangle that probably do a better job creating using a variety of angles, so they are more likely to have solid contact on all sides
