Temperature setting for bridging/internal bridgingnow #5993

Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Not a big problem, mostly in aesthetic improvement. Will definitely improve external bridging! When you print fast, it works best hotter temperatures to keep the filament flowing nicely, but this causes the filament to droop down into the infill gaps and even if you do 3 solid top layers, the "waffle" appearance of the infill shows through. Also external bridging will always droop more the hotter print.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a setting for temperature of bridging/internal bridging. Either in the form of an adjustment (i.e. 5° lower) or a specific temperature (i.e. 245°C). For example, I typically print 200 to 300 mm/s at 250°C printing in petG, internal bridging at 100 mm/s. My prints come out flawless with the exception of the visible infill pattern. I would like to print the internal bridging at 240° or 245° for example. I would need to test it to find the ideal temperature, but this would allow the bridging to cool much quicker resulting in less "droop". (For reference, top surface is still appear flat, they just show the appearance of the infill beneath them ever so slightly)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently the only other alternative is to print my entire part at a lower temperature.
