## Bridge infill direction
|
||||
|
||||
Bridging angle override. If left to zero, the bridging angle will be calculated automatically. Otherwise the provided angle will be used for bridges. Use 180° for zero angle.
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimum sparse infill threshold
|
||||
|
||||
Sparse infill area which is smaller than threshold value is replaced by internal solid infill.
|
||||
|
||||
## Infill Combination
|
||||
|
||||
Automatically Combine sparse infill of several layers to print together to reduce time. Wall is still printed with original layer height.
|
||||
|
||||
### Max layer height
|
||||
|
||||
Maximum layer height for the combined sparse infill.
|
||||
Set it to 0 or 100% to use the nozzle diameter (for maximum reduction in print time) or a value of ~80% to maximize sparse infill strength.
|
||||
|
||||
The number of layers over which infill is combined is derived by dividing this value with the layer height and rounded down to the nearest decimal.
|
||||
|
||||
Use either absolute mm values (eg. 0.32mm for a 0.4mm nozzle) or % values (eg 80%). This value must not be larger than the nozzle diameter.
|
||||
|
||||
## Detect narrow internal solid infill
|
||||
|
||||
This option will auto-detect narrow internal solid infill areas. If enabled, the concentric pattern will be used for the area to speed up printing. Otherwise, the rectilinear pattern will be used by default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ensure vertical shell thickness
|
||||
|
||||
Add solid infill near sloping surfaces to guarantee the vertical shell thickness (top+bottom solid layers).
|
||||
|
||||
- **None**: No solid infill will be added anywhere. Caution: Use this option carefully if your model has sloped surfaces.
|
||||
- **Critical Only**: Avoid adding solid infill for walls.
|
||||
- **Moderate**: Add solid infill for heavily sloping surfaces only.
|
||||
- **All (default)**: Add solid infill for all suitable sloping surfaces.

### Use cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Increasing the number of lines (e.g., 2 or 3) can improve part strength and print speed without increasing material usage.
|
||||
- Fire-retardant applications: Some flame-resistant materials (like PolyMax PC-FR) require a minimum printed wall/infill thickness—often 1.5–3 mm—to comply with standards. Since infill contributes to overall part thickness, using multiple lines helps achieve the necessary thickness without switching to a large nozzle or printing with 100% infill. This is especially useful for high-temperature materials like PC, which are prone to warping when fully solid.
|
||||
- Creating aesthetically pleasing infill patterns (like [Grid](#grid) or [Honeycomb](#honeycomb)) with multiple line widths—without relying on CAD modeling or being limited to a single extrusion width.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
> [!WARNING]
|
||||
> For self intersecting infills (e.g. [Cubic](#cubic), [Grid](#grid)) multiline count greater than 3 may cause layer shift, extruder clog or other issues due to overlapping of lines on intersection points.

## Surface Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
This setting controls the pattern of the surface. The options are:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Concentric:** Fills the surface with inward-tracing loops that follow the outer contour.
|
||||
- **Rectilinear:** Fills the surface with straight lines alternating direction per layer.
|
||||
- **Monotonic:** Prints lines in a uniform direction for a smoother visual surface.
|
||||
- **Monotonic Lines:** Similar to Monotonic but avoids overlapping with the perimeter, reducing excess material at joints. May introduce visible seams.
|
||||
- **Aligned Rectilinear:** The surface is printed with rectilinear lines that are aligned with the infill pattern.
|
||||
- **Hilbert Curve:** Applies a space-filling curve for even material distribution and a unique appearance. Slow to print but useful in esthetic applications.
|
||||
- **Archimedean Chords:** Generates concentric arc-like lines, promoting uniform material spread.
|
||||
- **Octagram Spiral:** Creates an octagonal spiral for decorative, esthetic surfaces.

# Walls
|
||||
|
||||
In 3D printing, "walls" refer to the outer layers of a printed object that provide its shape and structural integrity. Adjusting wall settings can significantly affect the strength, appearance, and print time of your model.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wall loops
|
||||
|
||||
"Wall loops" refers to the number of times the outer wall is printed in a loop. Increasing the wall loops can improve the strength and durability of the print, but may also increase print time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternate extra wall
|
||||
|
||||
This setting adds an extra wall to every other layer. This way the infill gets wedged vertically between the walls, resulting in stronger prints.
|
||||
When this option is enabled, the ensure vertical shell thickness option needs to be disabled.
|
||||
Using lightning infill together with this option is not recommended as there is limited infill to anchor the extra perimeters to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Detect thin wall
|
||||
|
||||
Detect thin wall which can't contain two line width. And use single line to print. Maybe printed not very well, because it's not closed loop.
