Then in the bar at the top, where is lists the printer, the extruder / material and the quality, click the quality section, and you will seee a drop-down of all the settings. Then in the "Shell" section you can choose how thick you want the wall, and how many lines. I think that if your printer can print at 100% then it is probably under-extruding. There should be only barely space for 100% fill, and so you would expect cumulative oozing errors to build up. I typically print at no more than 25% fill, and for foundry patterns I am down at 5% to save time. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
