Topic: InFill question

First weekend since receiving the SD2!  Lots of printing planned!

So far, haven't had much luck printing with a complete fill.  Anyone have a profile to share with accomplishing this?  I have finally calibrated the extruder and flow rate, so perhaps I will have an easier time with this.

Re: InFill question

0 = no fill 1 = 100% fill in Sic3r (e.g. .025 honeycomb would be very sparse, but models like yoda do well with nicely spaced HC Fill).  That being said if you want to learn about fill you should just make a 30x30mm box in Tinkercad.com and try each setting to see for yourself what they do.  I am a honeycomb addict try .10 honeycomb for really light and strong .25 honeycomb is nearly as good as solid I would say.  Printing solid has a place, but you will watch your filament roll vanish...can't wait to make my own filaments.

Re: InFill question

Ah, the box is a good idea, do test out the different parameters, thanks,  I'll give your settings a try!
