Thin pieces separate entities #1903

Open thormj opened 10 years ago

thormj commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure how to say this... Model: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:267803 -- Filabottle Thicker.stl Nozzle width = 0.6mm Layer Size = 0.4mm

If you look at the resulting G-Code, you see a lot of places where A. It didn't extrude (see the gap in the side and the "dots" in the bottom) B. The thin walls aren't of the same filament as either the inside or outside edge (not nearly as strong)

But I want the sidewalls to be 1 layer thick (so you can see through them)... The bottom doesn't matter as much, but I would've expected full fill...

What Slic3r version?

Just a thought on this, I think the ideal solution would be for these sections to be drawn as a continuation of the perimeter of the object at the end, so the extruder draws a line along, say, the outer surface of an object, then loops around do do the inner surface, stopping where the shape gets too thin for two extrusion widths. This would join the thin section to the thicker one more strongly and result in a stronger object, and likely a smoother surface at the transition (not to mention fewer travel moves).

Yup, that was what I was thinking. This was with rc3

@thormj could you check this problem on 1.3.0-dev? https://bintray.com/lordofhyphens/Slic3r/slic3r_dev/view

Could you additionally add a screenshot from slic3r's own 3d preview and zip up an exported config.ini and attach that as well?
