[Feature Request] Replace 1-2 layer high infill with solid infill #4359

Open KimmoHop opened 4 years ago

KimmoHop commented 4 years ago

Version

2.2.0+win64

Operating system type + version

W10 64-bit 2004

3D printer brand / version + firmware version (if known)

Anycubic i3 Mega

Behavior

When part is slightly higher than top and bottom layers, 1 or 2 layers of infill are sliced between them. Though correct by the settings, this is really unnecessary and can make parts weaker. It is user error for not checking preview, but it would be easier if there was an option to "use solid infill for infill that is lower than X" where X could be e.g. 2-4 layers or in 1 millimeter.

This is a new feature request

Project File (.3MF) where problem occurs

extruder_mount_with_single_infill_layer_at_the_bottom.zip

Look at the bottom of the mount, one infill in the middle ;)

I personally don't see any reason to implement something like this. It is often preffered to have 1-2 sparse infill layers between solid layers to prevent overextrusion. It is situational, so it makes more sense to me to just honor the top/bottom settings, instead of using some possibly confusing override.
