how does it decide how to fill walls? - avoiding gaps
Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2017 12:12 pm
I have been experimenting with wall thicknesses and wondering why I get separation with no infill and why it is unpredictable.
nozzle is 0.4mm, so one might imagine a 0.2 gap in a 1mm wall, no gap in a 1.2 wall.... number of layers on the outside affects this so that the gap re-appears when the wall gets thicker. it seems simplify 3D could be a bit more clever at avoiding printing two separated walls with no infill!
This test piece is stepping up from 0.8 mm to 2 mm in 0.2 mm increments.
