Topic: Infill Slic3r question and ABS Plastic question

Infill Slic3r -  I have been on the slicer web page and didn't find the answer, I am assuming a .4 fill is more dense than a .1 fill?  Am I correct?

ABS Plastic - Is there a retailer in NY (Brick and mortor) where I can buy spools of ABS plastic  I ran out and don't have time to order it by mail a project is due and I have to reprint due to bad Rep Rap settings, its an 18+ hour print :-(.

Thanks
Martin

Re: Infill Slic3r question and ABS Plastic question

You are correct on the infill. .9 would be a 90% infill density, whereas .1 would be 10%

To pick up locally in NY....NYC or state? If you are close to Brooklyn you could buy some from Solidoodle in store.

Printit Mason and Printit Horizon printers
Multiple SD2s- Bulldog XL, E3D v5/v6/Lite6, Volcano, Hobb Goblin, Titan, .9 motor, Lawsy carriages, direct Y drive, fishing line...the list goes on
Filawinder and Filastruder #1870.....worth every penny!

Grats Martin!  Fortunately, you live in one of like ten cities you can get filament from a store.  Those of us without that resource  either buy four to six rolls at a time or get filastruders.

I learned my lesson always have at least 1 extra spool in stock.
