What is Infill in the 3D Printing Settings ?

7/9/2016

 
 What is Infill in the 3D Printing Settings ?
Infill is quite important in the 3D printing setting because it will affect the hardness of the 3D printout. When it comes to infill, there are fill (infill) density and fill pattern.
Fill density (Infill density) 
​Higher fill density will lead to the harder 3D printout
. If the infill density is 100%, the printout will a solid model. On the contrary, if the fill density is 0%, the printout will be hollow. In general, the density of the infill within 15% -30% is good enough to provide the printout with a reasonable hardness. On the other hand, the higher the infill density, the longer the printing time is required.

​Fill pattern (I
nfill pattern)
 
It is very easy to set the infill pattern in the 3D slicing software as well. Generally there are several options of the infill patterns such as hexagon, linear etc.. If you want to print faster, linear infill pattern is preferable and if you want to have a stronger printout, hexagon is better.

​To do the setting of infill pattern and infill density in the 3D slicing software 
Flashprint which was developed by Flashforge, just go to the "infill“ menu and type in the percentage of the infill and choose its pattern as shown below:

I have a flashforge guider 2 3d printer, how do i change infill?

Hello, Belle, once you click the "print" icon and click the "more options" , you will see the "infill" section. Then you can change the Fill density.

In a Flashforge Adventure 3 how do i change infill?

Click the "Print" button, and click "more option", then you can see the Tab called "Infill" , and in there you can set the density of the infill.

Can I apply a variable infill on a single model or a model which has been split into multiple parts?

Hello, Right now you can only set one infill rather than variable infill

Is the infill button supposed to be on the printer or in the software? It doesn't make sense to have it on the printer rather than as an option in flashprint or happy3d. This doubly doesn't make sense because my Finder doesn't have an infill option on the printer itself, whereas if you designed your software correctly this wouldn't be an issue because it wouldn't rely on your ability as a company to remember to implement this option into every printer model. It would just be in the software, done and good to go. No room for forgetting.

Original poster. The user interface in flashprint is severely glitched, making navigation difficult, so i failed to find the command originally. Confusion made worse by the pointless separate printing command screens of happy3d and flashprint
