That being said, you can save time and plastic by printing a 50% infill and still have pretty good strength.  If you're trying to use it for a casting, you definitely don't want 100% infill as that would be more plastic to have to melt away.

Don't get me wrong, if you need to print at 100% for your needs, do so, but the alternative do exist.

Should I use “Fill Density” and set it to 1 or “Solid Infill Every:” and set it to 1, do I need to set both? or?

Thank you in advance for your help,

CB
