skipping on low infill
January 31, 2015 05:42AM
Hi,

Not sure if this is a Ormerod 2 specific question or a printing question but, when I set the infill fill density to below 40% (default) I find that my gears start to skip occassionally especially on large flat pieces. Also I find that the pla starts to not stick to the layer below so I get lots of lose long strands of PLA in the middle layers. I assume this is a speed issue which can be changed in Slic3r but not sure which speed box would control this.

The speed I think it is is infill which is set at 60mm/s but I would have thought there would be a fill density speed.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

There are 3 infill speeds:
- Infill (the one thats honeycomb by default and of which you can controll the %)
- Solid infill (The area's that would be infill as above, but are to small so there is no honeycomb or anything, 100% infill)
- Top solid infill (the top layer thats visible when finished)

I would try 30 for the first two and 20 for the last one, so you can determine if it has something to do with the speeds. If so, try to find a nice balance.
