Posted · Printing top surface over walls?

Hi,

 

I often have problem with gaps on the top surface. One of my workaround  is ironing. But ironing is very sensitive and very slow and usually causes other problems.

 

I like that it is possible to set separately the "Top Surface Line Width" and "Top Surface Skin Pattern". But would it be also possible to print the top surface over shells/walls too?

Like the ironing, which also prints over the walls, dense top surface could do a similar thing.

 

Please take a look at the below image, there are walls with tiny gaps, these areas are quite small to be touched by the top surface fill. But if the top surface could replace the top inner walls, these gaps would be hidden.

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        (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.
