Topic: Tips for lower infill

Hey guys I was wondering if you guys would share your tips for printing with lower infill.  It seems I get drooping of the layers as it tries to span the gaps left from a .1 honeycomb infill.  Thanks for any info you can provide. I'm a newb lol :-)

Go with rectilinear, at least try it. I use it cause it's faster.

You might also adjust your speed/flow settings for bridging as you might get less droop however some of this is temperature dependent so if you can drop the temps a bit it may help... or a fan on the extruder.

Here is a vid of some extreme bridging--> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b6hFFcLh_Q if you can get even close to his settings you should have nothing to worry about smile
