I am trying to find out if a double layered model can have an inner layer with a different toolpath from the outer layer.
I could achieve this with a surface model but then I have to control the tolerances myself. changing for example layer width would require a change in the model. That is why I want to find out if it is possible to do this with an infill mesh in Cura.
picture 1: (2 models) - The rectangular model acts as an infill mesh.
picture2: Showing what happens when sliced - The outer wall follows the same path as the inner wall.
Picture3: Showing what I would like to achieve - The outer wall follows the path of the main object - The inner wall follows the path of the infill mesh.
I hope to have informed enough for now! Please let me know if something like this is possible!
Is it possible to change the toolpath of the inner layer from the outer layer?
