At the expense of weaker parts. I let it use the default 40% and 4 lines per wall, and am just now looking at 30% and 3 lines. re-slicing the internal spline, I got rid of the startup woes as it was laying down all the outlines as a single line, then knocking them loose trying to build on them. Messy cuz it blue tints the air. This time its doing all the infill first, which gives it plenty of well stuck material to attach the other stuff to. Now if its still the same size... I should be able to check that in around 4 or 5 hours. Thanks Chris. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
