Hi all, I am slicing with slic3r, but my first layers will show a gap between perimeters and the fill. I am missing the parameter that will allow the fill to overlap with the perimeter (as skeinforge has) My result will therefore end-up with one or more filament lines being loose and possible be peeled off. Is there a slic3r setting to force fill over perimeter?

btw. infill overlap IS usefull when printing ABS as threads do shrink while printing (try turning on fan when printing solid infill)
one can also use it as hack to turn overlap into extra structual support inside model (just inbetween perimeter and infill) as overlap provides tiny 'bump' to which
next layers stick better.

in general this is very good setting, and i find it missing.]]> curious_pl Slic3r Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:30:30 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,131511#msg-131511 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,131511#msg-131511 Sound Slic3r Sat, 05 May 2012 12:25:38 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,129569#msg-129569 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,129569#msg-129569
But that is also something you should get rid of properly, not with a band-aid like the infill overlap parameter.]]> ttsalo Slic3r Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:35:35 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,129305#msg-129305 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,129305#msg-129305
But yes it is best to adjust your e-steps through measuring the filament travel when you request 40mm in pronterface. Be sure you have the nozzle installed on the hotend and have it hot. Make sure its a fairly large number as the added resistance of going through the hotend can make the hobbed bolt slip and this only shows up after extruding all the already molten plastic from your hotend.

I've been having a similar issue, where the strands are too far apart and the object is not air/liquid tight.

So to clarify - set up E-steps first, by measuring the actual feed of the extruder.

Then print (sample shape?) with 100% infill and adjust the extrusion multiplier parameter (larger than 1 means more filament is being extruded, correct?)

No because if you have your machine calibrated correctly you will never need to adjust it.]]> Sublime Slic3r Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:39:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,129226#msg-129226 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,129116,129226#msg-129226 However, the question remains... Is there a parameter like the skeinforge parameter that allows the infill to overlap with the perimeter?
