And that was on a 20x20 test cube.
Imagine the time you save on bigger prints, without having to sacrifice the outer finish/look!

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
I suppose for big objects might be good. I suppose small areas might suffer from too fast print with little fantime. But indeed nice

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
An interesting topic, since I would love to use 0.1 for the external pieces of BB-8 but the part needs the strength of thicker layers (and the Triangle infill).

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
I was playing with this a bit this morning and found something odd.
It appears that this feature only works of the infill density is 40% or less? (in Cura 2.4 Beta)
At least it does not work with 100% infill, that's for sure, I am printing a part right where the infill is supposed to be 0.3 mm and the walls 0.15, but infill obviously is 0.15 too.
When testing the settings in Cura the print time does not decrease when you increase the infill layer thickness if infill density is more than 40% and the preview also indicated it stops working over 40%.

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
I think 100% infill is still a frontend hack where it changes top or bottom layers to 9999 and skips normal infill.

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
On CURA 2.3.1, the 0.3 "Infill Layer Thickness" tweak works fine from 1% infill to 30% infill.
Yes, the 99.99% Infill tweak is good to reduce printing time ! I will never print with 100% Infill now !

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
Ohh, so that is why Cura 2.4 sometimes insists to print the infill at 30mm/s even thought it is set to 60mm/s.johan wrote:I think 100% infill is still a frontend hack where it changes top or bottom layers to 9999 and skips normal infill.
Thanks a lot, I did not connect that bug to the 100% infill setting.

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
100 % ≠ to 99.99% but not so far....

Re: Cura Feature request: Infill Height
It works really well with 40% infill though, at least with 1.75 mm filament and direct drive
Instantly switching from 30 mm/s at 0.1 mm layer hight (outer wall) to 60 mm/s at 0.3 mm layer height (infill) is no match for the direct drive, it only underextrudes the first few millimeters:

Hi All
Now that's what I would integrate into Cura as infill :
