Topic: Tinnnyyyy Slic3r tip when having issues telling it a specific value.

Ok, Maybe I just got lucky once sad. this tip might not always work, which vastly diminishes it's usefulness. But the part where I say "the solution for me has always been" still seems to always work.

Many of you may have the problem with repetier and slic3r where you try and change configuration data, say, the "infill between layers" and when you save the changes it reverts to the old settings.

The solution for me has always been typing in "infill every outrageous number like 2000", save, then redo with my actual desires.

This was a tiny annoyance.

Today by chance I tried instead adding a lot of zeros *before* my digit, and it worked properly! So in my example I was switching from infill every 2 layers to infill ever 1 layer, and I entered "0000000001" and it switched properly.


If this was a pet peeve of yours, perhaps my solution will be welcomed.

This is great- It has been many months since I last did any tweaking and the fact that I do two loops prior to print was drving me nuts (only want one but couldn't get it to change)  Thanks for posting this and reminding me how to get around it smile

Your method didn't work for this particular setting- but upping to all 1s then back to 1 worked perfect smile

Cheers

Yeah! I'm glad that worked for you. 

I have to update however that it may have been a fluke sad. I posted in the morning and it was working then for switching to one loop from two. However, this evening I was trying to switch from 2 layers to 3 (infill), and it didn't work.

Hmm, I haven't tried this, but I will.  The problem I have is changing from any number to three.  I have to change to some other number first, save, and then change to three.  Only happens on perimeters and top/bottom layers (but then that is about all I ever change).
