Infill and Top/Bottom when slicing dual extrusion print
Posted
· Infill and Top/Bottom when slicing dual extrusion print
You are going to have to fool Cura. How you do it can be tricky.
The slices Cura creates are horizontal (parallel to the build plate). Since that rib (or whatever) is only "near horizontal" the wall thickness is being compensated for. It's a trig function of the angle to the build plate.
This is a 6 x 6 x 75 rectangular solid tipped up 10° with 1.2mm wall thickness (3 walls / loops).
Here is the math. The top view is at 10° tip and the bottom view is at a 5° tip from horizontal. The infill is generated to maintain the 1.2mm wall thickness "normal" to the outer surfaces of the model.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
