Comment on Sensible wall thickness and infill for tall walls?
cyberwolfie@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoGood lord no. Don’t do that. That would be a waste of filament and also cause a host of other problems for you.
Just to be clear, it is the “hoping to use infill to get some support” that your response is aimed at, right? Out of curiosity, what kind of problems could I be looking at for this?
In the meantime, I’ve been printing some smaller bins of about half the height of my problem where I increased the wall thickness of the model from the default 0.95 mm to 2 mm, and used 3 perimeters, which resulted in fairly sturdy walls.
Looking at the same bin with 2 mm walls without infill, and 3 mm walls with infill, there is barely any difference in material usage.
