Skin bottom pattern in bridging settings.

Open Rwide opened this issue 7 months ago • 6 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When printing bridges it can sometimes happen that anchoring points fail to attach.

Describe the solution you'd like

To eliminate/reduce this I would love to have the option to choose continous line (like zigzag) pattern for the bottom layer of the bridge, like in the picture. I had to dissable the "bridge settings" and set the "extra skin wall count" to 0.

A setting like "skin overlap percentage" could then be used to control the strength of the anchoring points. I think this would be a great addition to the bridge settings for people with bowden extruders, people with uncalibrated preasure advance settings and others. UltiMaker-Cura_3TQuOuEmZ8

Describe alternatives you've considered

I did try "connect infill lines" but it doesn't seem to affect the skin ( at least not in the preview).

Affected users and/or printers

people with bowden extruders, people with uncalibrated preasure/linnear advance settings and others.

Additional information & file uploads

I used these settings to achieve the skin pattern:

Bridge settings=deactivated Extra "infill wall count=0 Skin overlap percentage=a reasonable amount Bottom pattern=zigzag

The problem is that this affects all skins. Not just the bottom of bridges. One would also loose control over other bridge settings because the bridge settings have to be dissabled to achieve this pattern.
