Spiral Vase Mode #11

Open Flyer0192 opened 1 year ago

Flyer0192 commented 1 year ago

Great app so far and love that I can use on my iPad. Is there a setting to make make vase infill spiral instead of creating new layer and having the seam?

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to have a continuous spiral without any height jump between layers. This is because all slice operations are based on layers, so a continuous spiral doesn't fit into this approach. The vase mode, which is basically the same as having no infill, creates an empty space surrounded by a shell of your chosen thickness (1, 2, 3, etc.). A seamless vase can only be achieved with a shell thickness of 1, and it's a very specific case that isn't supported.
