# Overhangs
## Detect overhang wall
Detect the overhang percentage relative to line width and use different speed to print. For 100% overhang, bridge speed is used.
## Make overhang printable
Modify the geometry to print overhangs without support material.
### Maximum angle
Maximum angle of overhangs to allow after making more steep overhangs printable.
90° will not change the model at all and allow any overhang, while 0 will replace all overhangs with conical material.
### Hole area
Maximum area of a hole in the base of the model before it's filled by conical material.
A value of 0 will fill all the holes in the model base.
## Extra perimeters on overhangs
Create additional perimeter paths over steep overhangs and areas where bridges cannot be anchored.
## Reverse on even
Extrude perimeters that have a part over an overhang in the reverse direction on even layers. This alternating pattern can drastically improve steep overhangs.
This setting can also help reduce part warping due to the reduction of stresses in the part walls.
### Reverse internal only
Apply the reverse perimeters logic only on internal perimeters.
This setting greatly reduces part stresses as they are now distributed in alternating directions. This should reduce part warping while also maintaining external wall quality. This feature can be very useful for warp prone material, like ABS/ASA, and also for elastic filaments, like TPU and Silk PLA. It can also help reduce warping on floating regions over supports.
For this setting to be the most effective, it is recommended to set the Reverse Threshold to 0 so that all internal walls print in alternating directions on even layers irrespective of their overhang degree.
### Reverse threshold
Number of mm the overhang need to be for the reversal to be considered useful. Can be a % of the perimeter width.
Value 0 enables reversal on every even layers regardless.
When [Detect overhang wall](#detect-overhang-wall) is not enabled, this option is ignored and reversal happens on every even layers regardless.

### Inner/Outer
Use Inner/Outer for best overhangs. This is because the overhanging walls can adhere to a neighbouring perimeter while printing. However, this option results in slightly reduced surface quality as the external perimeter is deformed by being squashed to the internal perimeter.

### Inner/Outer/Inner
Use Inner/Outer/Inner for the best external surface finish and dimensional accuracy as the external wall is printed undisturbed from an internal perimeter. However, overhang performance will reduce as there is no internal perimeter to print the external wall against. This option requires a minimum of 3 walls to be effective as it prints the internal walls from the 3rd perimeter onwards first, then the external perimeter and, finally, the first internal perimeter. This option is recommended against the Outer/Inner option in most cases.

### Print infill first
Order of wall/infill. When the tickbox is unchecked the walls are printed first, which works best in most cases.
Printing infill first may help with extreme overhangs as the walls have the neighbouring infill to adhere to. However, the infill will slightly push out the printed walls where it is attached to them, resulting in a worse external surface finish. It can also cause the infill to shine through the external surfaces of the part.
When this option is enabled, the infill is printed first, followed by the walls. This can be useful for some overhangs where the infill can support the walls.

![infill-ghosting](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/blob/main/doc/images/Wall-Order/infill-ghosting.png?raw=true)
When using this option is recommended to use the [Precise Wall](quality_settings_precision#precise-wall), [Inner/Outer/Inner](#innerouterinner) wall printing order or reduce [Infill/Wall Overlap](strength_settings_infill#infill-wall-overlap) to avoid the infill pushing out the external wall.
## Wall loop direction
The direction which the wall loops are extruded when looking down from the top.
By default all walls are extruded in counter-clockwise, unless Reverse on even is enabled. Set this to any option other than Auto will force the wall direction regardless of the Reverse on even.

## Surface flow ratio
This factor affects the amount of material for top solid infill. You can decrease it slightly to have smooth surface finish.
This factor affects the amount of material for top or bottom solid infill. You can decrease it slightly to have smooth surface finish.
The actual top surface flow used is calculated by multiplying this value with the filament flow ratio, and if set, the object's flow ratio.
> [!TIP]
> Before using a value other than 1, it is recommended to [calibrate the flow ratio](flow-rate-calib) to ensure that the flow ratio is set correctly for your printer and filament.
## Only one wall
Use only one wall on flat surfaces, to give more space to the top infill pattern.
Specially useful in small features, like letters, where the top surface is very small and concentric pattern from walls would not cover it properly.
![only-one-wall](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/blob/main/doc/images/Wall-Order/only-one-wall.gif?raw=true)
### Threshold
If a top surface has to be printed and it's partially covered by another layer, it won't be considered at a top layer where its width is below this value. This can be useful to not let the 'one perimeter on top' trigger on surface that should be covered only by perimeters. This value can be a mm or a % of the perimeter extrusion width.
Warning: If enabled, artifacts can be created if you have some thin features on the next layer, like letters. Set this setting to 0 to remove these artifacts.

## Avoid crossing walls
Maximum detour distance for avoiding crossing wall. Don't detour if the detour distance is larger than this value. Detour length could be specified either as an absolute value or as percentage (for example 50%) of a direct travel path. Zero to disable.

## Small area flow compensation
Enable flow compensation for small infill areas.
Enables adaptive flow control for small infill areas.
This feature helps address extrusion problems that often occur in small regions of solid infill, such as the tops of narrow letters or fine features. In these cases, standard extrusion flow may be too much for the available space, leading to over-extrusion or poor surface quality.
![flow-compensation-model](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/blob/main/doc/images/Wall-Order/flow-compensation-model.png?raw=true)
It works by dynamically adjusting the extrusion flow based on the length of the extrusion path, ensuring more precise material deposition in small spaces.
This is a native implementation of @Alexander-T-Moss [Small Area Flow Compensation](https://github.com/Alexander-T-Moss/Small-Area-Flow-Comp).
### Flow Compensation Model
used to adjust the flow for small infill areas. The model is expressed as a comma separated pair of values for extrusion length and flow correction factors, one per line, in the following format:
The model uses a list of Extrusion Length and Flow Correction Factor value pairs. Each pair defines how much flow should be used for a specific Extrusion Length.
For values between the listed points, the flow is calculated using linear interpolation.
![flow-compensation-model-graph](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/blob/main/doc/images/Wall-Order/flow-compensation-model-graph.png?raw=true)
For example for the following model:
| Extrusion Length | Flow Correction Factor |
|------------------|------------------------|
| 0 | 0 |
| 0.2 | 0.4444 |
| 0.4 | 0.6145 |
| 0.6 | 0.7059 |
| 0.8 | 0.7619 |
| 1.5 | 0.8571 |
| 2 | 0.8889 |
| 3 | 0.9231 |
| 5 | 0.952 |
| 10 | 1 |
