Infill Pattern
The inll pattern will determine the path of how your inll is generated.
There are several dierent patterns to choose from, oering dierent
benets and drawbacks.
• Grid will create inll by making a continuous line, bouncing o each
wall at 45 degree angles. This is one of the faster inll types, as there
are no wasted moves on travel are implemented.
• Lines will create the same patter as grid, however it generates them
dierently. It will generate all inll lines at 45 degree angles to your
wall in one direction, and will then generate all perpendicular lines
the other direction. This constrains travel moves along the inner wall.
• Triangles will create a triangular pattern of inll. Similar to grid,
it will “bounce” of interior walls to a new angle, preventing any
superuous travel moves.
• Tri-Hexagon generates a hexagon inll pattern, with a triangle
attached to the edge of each hexagon.
• Cubic generates 3-dimensional hexagons, with pyramids lling in the
gaps. This helps increase strength, without adding much to overall
print time.
• Cubic Subdivision generates an inll pattern similar to Cubic,
however it leaves the center of your model at a lower density. This
pattern helps support walls, while decreasing print time by printing
less material.
• Octet generates a 3D cube pattern with the cubes standing on a
corner relative to the build plate. This pattern helps increase strength
by generating an internal 3 dimensional object, while keeping print
time down by only printing in straight lines.
• Quarter Cubic generates a similar pattern to octet, however it
generates rectangles on its corner opposed to cubes.
• Concentric builds internal walls, that are not connected to your
outer walls. This inll will help save material, but may leave the
outer walls of your nal object weaker.
