Hello. When I do the slicing, the infill appears on the outside as well (doors on second image). Sometimes it is not there when I rotate the object. I use Cura 4.8.0

    I use the default settings, 0.2 layer height. Sometimes it happens to start with an infill of 2 or 3 layers after the highest layer in that part of the object. I always managed to avoid that by rotating the object. Now I have noticed that these lines do not exist only when I increase the print quality to 0.16

    1) To share a project file go to menu "file" "save...".  The resulting file contains not only your STL but the scaling, positioning.  Also it has your machine (printer) settings, your material settings, your profile used, and settings that you overrode.  Please post that here.

     

    2) It's very hard to see in your photo to see what is infill and what isn't.  There is a row across the top of the screen (PREPARE PREVIEW MONITOR).  The next row down you have "color scheme" set to material color.  Please change that to "line type" and then the different line types will be different colors and make it easier to see your issue.

     

    3) So your issue seems to be that the normals are backwards for some of the triangles.  An stl file consists of a huge list of unordered triangles with normals.  The normals say which side of each triangle faces air versus plastic.  The rim around your door seem to have the normals backwards.  What CAD are you using?  Most CAD won't let you place those backwards.  Sketchup is one of a few CAD that let you do this easily but it's easy to fix the normals in all CAD but different instructions for each CAD.  You can probably fix this in cura:

     

    In the upper right corner of Cura click "marketplace" and make sure you are on the "plugins" tab and install "Mesh Tools".  Then restart Cura.  Now right click on your model, choose "mesh tools" and first choose
    "check mesh", then "fix model normals".

    I can't see anything strange because it is a stl file, so I sliced it with my own settings.

     

    Please let us know if option 3 from above solves your problem.

    If not a project file would be helpful. See @gr5 how to share one.

    It isn't the model per se (which is watertight), but it might be the way it was modeled.  I was using .4 nozzle and line width, .2 layer height.  All 3 images are layer 9.  My only change was wall thickness.  2 then 3 then 4 loops.

    This is at 0.8 walls.  The infill is into the door area.  There are open rectangles throughout the wall.

    This is at 1.2 walls.  The infill has retreated from the door.  Note that the holes in the wall have turned into filled rectangles with the lines running at [0,90].  Subsequent layers cover the fancy rectangles.

    This one is 1.6 walls.  It's what I would have expected for any wall thickness.

    Are there some artifacts in the model that might be leftover from combining/intersecting/cutting operations in the CAD program?  Why does changing the wall thickness have an effect on shapes away from the walls?

     

    EDIT:  I was working with the STL file.  I achieved the same results with the 3mf file.

    I don't know which CAD program was used. The STL file was downloaded from Thingiverse.

    Now that you have explained to me the problem with the holes ... Maybe the problem became when the creator of this project was resized to 80% of the original.

    Increasing number of wall lines have solved this problem. Thank you for your help!

    My pleasure.

    "I don't know why but here's how to fix it." never sits well with me.  I like to know the "why".
