Comment on An interesting issue
LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoYou know… I just had to test it.
Just threw together a model with some holes, it’s actually faster to print without the holes, even though it uses slightly less material, because there’s fewer retractions and nozzle hopping around.
I’m sure you can optimize it more, but for a quick test, just throwing a solid disc out there will most likely be faster to print.

Thanks for trying it out. I would model something up, but don’t have time right now. It would also depend on the slicer used, the printer and the settings etc.
It probably doesn’t matter that much and not be worth the effort unless it’s really what you want. But for a quick prototype just having it solid is fine and not worth optimizing.
