Hey y'all. I am trying to do a max perimeter style print, and want to know how to remove these smaller sections. I know I could reduce wall count until I remove them, however that isnt dynamic, and leaves larger gaps than I want in other areas. Is there a setting in PrusaSlicer im missing? I messed around with a few but they didnt give me the results I was looking for.

The triangles are a result of the print "wall" changing thickness. Look at the corner on the left. All 10 perimeter lines go all the way round. If 10 go in and 10 come out, we need extra perimeter lines in the corner to fill the extra width. That's why there are triangles.

I imagine you could fix this by making the walls the same thickness at all points, but without trying I can't be sure.

Can't you make the infill concentric? That should help.

Yellow is perimeter lines, the goal is to not use infill at all, and to just use multiple perimeter passes.

Why?

[-] Xzi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Direction specific force loading. In this particular instance, Having it run the infill along the perimeter of the part would improve it.

Why do you want to remove them?

[-] Xzi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

They dramatically increase print times and increase blemishes. It's such a small surface area, that it just ends up creating blobs and shakes the printer.

If you’re finding you’re printer is shaking too much, consider adjusting the acceleration/jerk settings

it’ll slow prints down- the maximum axcel/jerk will limit the top speed for the very short moves, longer moves remain mostly unaffected- but it will improve print quality.
