Per Model Settings -> modify settings for overlap -> infill only

Never works, and you always have to manually set everything (outer wall, top, bottom layers) to 0 before you can get the expected result as shown in second image:

Here in the second img, I set the density to 3%, and that checkbox that says Infill Only is completely inconsequential. The expected behavior for having infill-only should be as seen in the second image.

 

 

 

I think I know what it's doing in the first image too. Cura interprets this support blocker object as a separate stl and tries to generate its own up/bottom/outer skins, and inserts it inside the main mode. This should honestly be off if InfIll Only is turned on. An easy fix would be to turn all 3 skin options to 0 like I have shown in the second image IF the checkbox is on.

    That's also why it will be in the next release 🙂

    Oh and if the infill only checkbox is going to be flipped on by default and appear in the options. You might as well show people the infill density option by default too. There's no point if I have to manually find infil density in the mess of options every single time

    Well, if you're going to do that, you may wish to display the infill pattern too as that is as likely to be changed as the density (IMHO).

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (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.
