Hello - anyone else having this problem?

I select the infill pattern of "rectilinear" - and it does this for Layer 1. BUT it changes it on Layer 2 to concentric pattern - and hence the print does not work!!

The options does not seem to allow for any variation here - so seems to be an error??

I don't think I have ever seen this. Can you post a factory file?

haha wow me either. thats a new one. hundreds of prints and i have never seen that happen

its a very odd thing. i just keep saving the FFF settings and re-processing - and randomly it uses rectilinear.

hard to post a screenshot - as it would be of a concentric layer - and then one of the FFF settings. not much more details than that?

happened yesterday - 3 saves later - it worked.

now setting up again today and doing 4 saves - trying different FFF files as base - and same issue.

very head scratching....

screenshot showing infill pattern is completing a concentric fill - even with setting as rectilinear

FFF settings with Infill as Rectilinear

Here is a screenshot for an even more head scratching moment....

The first 14 layers comes up as rectilinear - posted a screenshot. So you feel like it's working - and then you check further layers.

There does not seem to be any settings to CHANGE the infill pattern type by layer - so how is it doing it?
And how do I correct - as need rectilinear for the part strength.....

your not setting up multiple processes on the part that are set to start and stop at different layers? unless thats what you are doing i have no answer for you since i have never seen or heard of anyone ever having a situation like that. i would contact support and send them a link to this thread for reference. i personally would start by uninstalling the software and reinstalling.

I am setting up multiple settings for the part - but the first 15mm have the same process assigned.
what would an issue be that you are thinking about?

contacted support. waiting on response.

well i was just thinking that one process may be set with one infill and the other process with a different one. thats the only thing i can think of that would give you that situation. if you set up the part with just one process does is keep the same infill type through the whole piece?
