Surely only be the method shown in PittdburghMan's video in the 21 March post above.

peggyb I did start my original comment with "As far as I am aware" but with the benefit of your very informative video I am now aware! Many thanks.

When making a complex part that is required to be stiff but as light as possible the type and density of the infill pattern is important and needs to be different for the different shapes within the part. To achieve this I had to make it in two parts with different infill patterns and then glue them together although I could just physically print them as one on the printer, These are the two parts joined As part of an RC plane it is rather a specialised application but being able to use different infill patterns on different same object would be useful..

As far as I am aware in CURA the infill pattern once set is common for all the items on the bed. However I for one could certainly make use different infill patterns and densities for different parts of the same object!

Smartavionics Cheers! That was exactly what I needed to know. Many thanks Quorneng

In CURA 2.7 and earlier the infill pattern was fixed relative to the bed. This means that by careful positioning of the print could give the best internal structure. In CURA 3.0 the infill pattern is fixed relative to the print thus the position of the infill pattern cannot be moved. If you are trying to create the lightest stiffest structure making best structural use of the infill matters. Is there are parameter in the settings of 3.0 that fixes the infill pattern to the bed as in 2.7? Thanks Simon Chaddock
