Infill line start position

Hello! I have a problem with the infill settings of a solid cube. I have 0 top and bottom layers, wall counts -0, and infill set at 100%. The infill line directions are [90, 90]. However, I have an issue with the starting position of the infill line. After the first layer, the infill line starts from the middle (orange in the picture) of the print rather than starting from the edge. What can I change so that every infill line in each layer starts from the same position? I have attached my project file. Please give me some suggestions. Thank you. Infill1.thumb.png.8fbf47814178436bcd89c74f852ad992.png

    I don't know if this is right, but I've found that looking at it like this gets my head around "Infill".

     

    There is a block of infill that encompasses the entire build volume.  Cura uses those portions that intersect a volume of the model where there should be infill.

    Consequently, the "mid-point" of the infill pattern is at the mid-point of the build plate.

     

    If you move that block to X0 Y25 (1/2 the model depth) I think you'll get what you want.  Cura's "block of infill" will stay where it is, but you will force a different "intersection" with the model.

    FWIW, you don't have to set the line directions to [90, 90]. Just [90] will work fine, each layer it goes to the next one in the series and then repeats, so you only need one and it'll repeat that.

        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.
