New type of infill: Support Infill

Posted · New type of infill: Support Infill

It would be great to have another type of infill, one type that works just like the support structure.

There are many prints that I would let the infill 0%, but because some little bits of the print that would be hanging if I have 0% infill I must place infill in all the model.

It would be great if I could place support structures inside the model to support only the bits that need support, to make even shorter time prints with less filament.

Thanks for everyone that reads and is thinking about implementing this in the program.

    Thanks for the tip, I searched for that online and in the support settings but couldn't find it.

    Then when I tried it I found out that it must be paired with Infill Overhang Angle to work as I wished.

        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.
