alternating number of outline/perimeter shells
Posted: 28 Apr 2016, 05:31
Hi there,
I had lots of problems with the connection between infill and model shell and after days of checking the machine/speed/infill overlap/nozzle had this idea: what if I could print one layer with one extrusion wide perimeter shell and the next layer two lines (extrusions) of model shell and alternate the outline thickness every layer. In layers where the model shell is larger by one line (extrusion) the shell would bind to the below infill. and when the infill is larger, it would bind to the model shell, thereby creating a strong bond which in some parts is either missing or requires slower printing speeds.
Regards
Stefan
