Infill question
March 27, 2015 05:54PM
I am printing a cylinder for a pistol (for cosplay). The bottom, print wise, of the cylinder has a ridge running around it. In this section, the % infill works fine- see picture, base layers on the right. Once the printer gets up a few layers and the OD of the piece gets a little smaller again, slicer is turning to solid infill for the rest of the piece- everything between the chambers and the OD is solid, instead of being the %; again, see picture, piece on the left.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be, and where I might find a setting I have missed? Or is this unavoidable?
Apologies for potato-quality photo.

In slic3r in print/infill, there is a setting named 'solid infill threshold area'

Any area below this threshold (expressed in square millimeters) will be solid infilled. It could be this is what is happening to you.
