Right now, however, I'm just trying to get the app working reliably and debugged. Time enough later for making it more sophisticated. :-)Forrest Higgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208965471464716174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23681518.post-51823598613912105462010-02-27T08:30:39.284-08:002010-02-27T08:30:39.284-08:00I think that since you've split outline and in...I think that since you've split outline and infill routines, you could decide to do them at different z-offsets. E.g. have twice as many outlines as infill. When you're pushing for print speed, having the nozzle orifice very low will require more pressure to extrude those very flat tracks, so you don't want to do the infill like this because it will slow down the plastic throughput and subsequently the build time. Still, the surface quality will be much better, without requiring much more time. Plus, a dynamic outline height would allow much nicer curved surfaces for the more organic designs.Erik de Bruijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433438819279256757noreply@blogger.com
