2.9. SHELL TAB SETTINGS
with alternating outer walls, and should only be used when that is not of
concern.
Outer Before Inner Walls
Printing the outer walls rst can improve X/Y dimensional accuracy. As
you will be printing the outer walls rst, this setting can lead to cosmetic
defects on the outside of your model from extra or missed extrusion after
a travel move.
Alternate Extra Wall
The alternate extra wall option will add an extra inner wall every other
layer. This gives the inll very secure adhesion with the inner and outer
walls, greatly improving strength. This setting will add additional print
time to your model.
Compensate Inner/Outer Wall Overlaps
While generating a tool path for inner and outer walls, sometimes an overlap
will occur depending on model geometry. By activating inner and/or outer
compensate overlaps it will slightly reduce extrusion in this area, preventing
too much material from building up.
Minimum Wall Flow
After activating compensation for inner and/our outer wall overlap, a
minimum wall ow percentage setting will appear. This sets a minimum
ow percentage when compensating to never go below, helping ensure the
strength of your nal object.
Fill Gaps Between Walls
This option will attempt to ll small gaps that are generated depending
upon model geometry. For example, if you have a 2.2 mm cube, with wall
thickness set to 1 mm you will have a 0.2 mm gap in the center of the cube.
With this setting activated, it will ll the 0.2 mm gap providing stronger
parts. With this setting disabled, it will leave the space empty which may
produce more accurate parts.
