The next page in
is called
Infill
and covers how the interior of your part is filled.
While I covered
Fill Density
and
Infill Type
earlier, the
Advanced
mode adds two new
parameters.
The
Starting Angle
parameter allows you to control the orientation of the infill. For
example, an infill type of
GRID
with a starting angle of zero degrees is going to look like this:
Now if you change the starting angle to 45 degrees, you'll
end up with an infill pattern that looks like the example below.
Note that changing the starting angle
will also change the angle in which the top
and bottom layers are printed. You can see this in the image below – this shows the second
layer as it would be printed.
Infill Overlap
is used to adjust how well the infill pattern attaches to the inside perimeter
of the part. A good infill will have a solid connection to the inside perimeter of your part, and the
structural integrity of your part depends on this.
