Bridging and concentric top/bottom pattern.

Posted · Bridging and concentric top/bottom pattern.

I like to use the concentric pattern for top and bottom layers, but in places where there is bridging the concentric pattern does not work for obvious reasons.

Is there a way to override this in places where there is bridging with a pattern more suitable for bridging, but keep the concentric pattern in places that are supported?

    I've had the same dilemma once and found a suitable solution (at least for my case). If you are using a concentric pattern the circles will still be used for the bridges. But if you enable the bridge settings you can print up to three initial bridge layers first, before the concentric pattern will be applied. That gives the circles of the concentric pattern a solid base to stick on and you should be able to print solid bridges while keeping the concentric setting.

        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.
