Gap fill settings are not obvious #2956
Comments
Agreed, this should really be a separate checkbox. |
In upstream/vanilla Slic3r, it's a checkbox in Print Settings -> Infill. It would be beneficial to have that here, too. |
I'm confused by this being both a "Speed" setting, rather than a toggle and even as a speed setting not taking some kind of percentage. Everything else is dynamic/relative - it adjusts for bridges, curves, etc. but the gap fill is an absolute value. How do I figure out what that value should be, given that it's going to be used in a totally arbitrary number of places in any given model? |
Came hear to say the same thing. |
There should also be a setting to indicate what to fill, for instance "Fill gaps that are at least 70% the nozzle width", this should allow us to filter minute gaps that doesn't make sense to fill and would result in moves that actually affect print quality (like printing 3 walls with 0.5mm nozzle and the slicer tries to fill some minute gap in between them". |
Or allow to activate an option to fill only "areas of X mm²" or make it as "mm of filament". Something like that would be great. |
Same here, please make at least the checkbox to disable the feature, but the above comment "Minimum Infill Area" sounds pretty good. |
Hi guys! I opened a PR adding separate checkbox for gap filling here: #5999 |
Disabling gap fill explicitly will be possible in PrusaSlicer 2.4.0-alpha1. Thanks @xorza for the PR. |
Version
2.1.0+ (and older Slic3r)
Operating system type + version
MacOS 10.14.6 on 5K display
3D printer brand / version + firmware version (if known)
Prusa i3 Mk3
Behavior
To disable gap fill, it is necessary to change Print Settings->Speed->Speed for print moves->Gap fill to 0. This is not intuitive. There is also no setting or explanation of how maximum gap fill is calculated. I assume any gap narrower than a perimeter extrusion width will be filled using gap fill, but this is not clearly stated anywhere that I have found.
