# Bridging
|
||||
|
||||
"Bridging" is a 3D printing technique that allows you to print structures across gaps or voids without direct support underneath. OrcaSlicer provides several parameters to optimize bridge quality, minimizing filament sag and improving the appearance of top layers.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Flow ratio](#flow-ratio)
|
||||
- [Bridge density](#bridge-density)
|
||||
- [Thick bridges](#thick-bridges)
|
||||
- [Extra bridge layers](#extra-bridge-layers)
|
||||
- [Filter out small internal bridges](#filter-out-small-internal-bridges)
|
||||
- [Bridge Counterbore hole](#bridge-counterbore-hole)
|
||||
|
||||
## Flow ratio
|
||||
|
||||
Decrease this value slightly (for example 0.9) to reduce the amount of material for bridge, to improve sag.
|
||||
|
||||
The actual bridge flow used is calculated by multiplying this value with the filament flow ratio, and if set, the object's flow ratio.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bridge density
|
||||
|
||||
This value governs the thickness of the bridge layer. This is the first layer over sparse infill. Decrease this value slightly (for example 0.9) to improve surface quality over sparse infill.
|
||||
|
||||
The actual internal bridge flow used is calculated by multiplying this value with the bridge flow ratio, the filament flow ratio, and if set, the object's flow ratio.
|
||||
|
||||
## Thick bridges
|
||||
|
||||
When enabled, thick bridges increase the reliability and strength of bridges, allowing you to span longer distances. However, this may result in a rougher surface finish. Disabling this option can improve the visual quality of bridges, but is recommended only for shorter spans or when using large nozzle sizes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Extra bridge layers
|
||||
|
||||
This option enables the generation of an extra bridge layer over internal and/or external bridges.
|
||||
|
||||
Extra bridge layers help improve bridge appearance and reliability, as the solid infill is better supported. This is especially useful in fast printers, where the bridge and solid infill speeds vary greatly. The extra bridge layer results in reduced pillowing on top surfaces, as well as reduced separation of the external bridge layer from its surrounding perimeters.
|
||||
|
||||
It is generally recommended to set this to at least 'External bridge only', unless specific issues with the sliced model are found.
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Disabled** - does not generate second bridge layers. This is the default and is set for compatibility purposes.
|
||||
2. **External bridge only** - generates second bridge layers for external-facing bridges only. Please note that small bridges that are shorter or narrower than the set number of perimeters will be skipped as they would not benefit from a second bridge layer. If generated, the second bridge layer will be extruded parallel to the first bridge layer to reinforce the bridge strength.
|
||||
3. **Internal bridge only** - generates second bridge layers for internal bridges over sparse infill only. Please note that the internal bridges count towards the top shell layer count of your model. The second internal bridge layer will be extruded as close to perpendicular to the first as possible. If multiple regions in the same island, with varying bridge angles are present, the last region of that island will be selected as the angle reference.
|
||||
4. **Apply to all** - generates second bridge layers for both internal and external-facing bridges.
|
||||
|
||||
## Filter out small internal bridges
|
||||
|
||||
This option can help reduce pillowing on top surfaces in heavily slanted or curved models.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, small internal bridges are filtered out and the internal solid infill is printed directly over the sparse infill. This works well in most cases, speeding up printing without too much compromise on top surface quality.
|
||||
|
||||
However, in heavily slanted or curved models, especially where too low a sparse infill density is used, this may result in curling of the unsupported solid infill, causing pillowing.
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling limited filtering or no filtering will print internal bridge layer over slightly unsupported internal solid infill. The options below control the sensitivity of the filtering, i.e. they control where internal bridges are created:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Filter** - enables this option. This is the default behavior and works well in most cases.
|
||||
2. **Limited filtering** - creates internal bridges on heavily slanted surfaces while avoiding unnecessary bridges. This works well for most difficult models.
|
||||
3. **No filtering** - creates internal bridges on every potential internal overhang. This option is useful for heavily slanted top surface models; however, in most cases, it creates too many unnecessary bridges.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bridge Counterbore hole
|
||||
|
||||
This option creates bridges for counterbore holes, allowing them to be printed without support. Available modes include:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **None**: No bridge is created.
|
||||
2. **Partially Bridged**: Only a part of the unsupported area will be bridged.
|
||||
3. **Sacrificial Layer**: A full sacrificial bridge layer is created.

# Ironing
|
||||
|
||||
Ironing is a process used to improve the surface finish of 3D prints by smoothing out the top layers. This is achieved by selectively melting the outermost layer of the print, allowing it to flow and fill in any gaps or imperfections.

A thicker first layer is more forgiving to slight variations to the evenness of the build surface, resulting in a more uniform, visually, first layer. Set it to 0.25mm for a 0.4mm nozzle, for example, if your build surface is uneven or your printer has a slightly inconsistent z offset between print runs. However, as a rule of thumb, try not to exceed 65% of the nozzle width so as to not compromise bed adhesion too much.

## Walls printing order
|
||||
|
||||
Print sequence of the internal (inner) and external (outer) walls.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.
|
||||
|
||||
### Outer/Inner
|
||||
|
||||
Use Outer/Inner for the same external wall quality and dimensional accuracy benefits of Inner/Outer/Inner option. However, the z seams will appear less consistent as the first extrusion of a new layer starts on a visible surface.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.
|
||||
|
||||
## 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.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> This option will be disabled if spiral vase mode is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Surface flow ratio
|
||||
|
||||
This factor affects the amount of material for top 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.
|
||||
|
||||
## Only one wall
|
||||
|
||||
Use only one wall on flat surfaces, to give more space to the top infill pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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.
|
||||
|
||||
### Max detour length

||||
|
||||
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.

||||
|
||||
