Trying to make an Infill-only 3D print

Hi!

I'm trying to make an infill-only object.

I set Wall thickness & Top/Bottom Thickness to 0 but....

Cura Infill seems to generate some kind of "closing gaps" or will be closing pointing infill lines as shown in the exemple pic

Any ideas how to avoid those extra infill lines that actually don't show up in Cura but appear when printing?

Thanks!

    Hi @Adam324, this has finally been solved by @smartavionics :

    Thanks!

     

    Thanks, I imported that profile. When I slice your model I get this which doesn't have any explicit lines between the ends of the infill but it is doing non-retract moves (dark blue) so you are probably getting stringing:

    If you disable the combing you will get retraction with the moves (light blue lines) and so should not get stringing between the ends of the infill lines:

    Hope this helps!

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
