100% infill does not fill on second extruder

Hello,

 

I found a problem in my settings – sorry. With 100% infill it does fill.

But with 99% or below there is no infill at all.

 

I’m using 4.4.1 on Linux.

    with the second extruder, the void in the cylinder can not be filled. As you can see in the attached screenshot, infill is set to 100% but the cylinder is not filled.

     

    Well, your screenshot shows the settings for the first extruder, not the second.

    Can it be that simple?

    Yes, that was the 100% problem.

    But the 1 % – 99 % problem remains. Cura does not generate infill between the inner and outer wall of the cylinder.

    100% infill is a special case. Cura will not generate infill at all in this case, but generates "bottom layers" all the way to the top of the model. That's why it looks different at 100%

     

    Perhaps the area is too small for the normal infill? I would expect a "gap fill" there instead (if it is activated - i think it is a "shell" setting)?

     

    In additiion: does Cura has settings like "minimal infill line length" or "minimal infill area"?

    I'm not sure - i would make all infill settings visible and take a look at the tooltips.

    Guys, this "special case" should be seen as a bug. Does not let override infill settings like speed or extruder at 100%, this is absolutely not according to the "principle of least surprise" and there's no good way to work around.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
