Test wall thickness

thingiverse

I use a program slicer Cura When printing thin-walled models (boxes, forms, cookies, etc.): 1) The slicer fails to properly fill the space inside the walls. Depending on the parameters of "Wall Thickness" and "Infill Density", voids appear inside the walls that should not be there. 2) Also, if the option "Wall Thickness" is less than 2 times the wall thickness, then the inner filling is made diagonally at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of the wall. And with a small wall thickness vibration. I think this is not good for 3D printing. For example, from vibration, the bed setting gets strayed and often needs to be reconfigured. I created this model with different wall thicknesses (1 to 3 mm). And printed it with different parameters "Wall Thickness" and "Infill Density". The result can be seen in the photo. And I came to the conclusion that for the Cura slicer, optimal wall thickness when creating models, you need to choose: 1.3 to 1.7 mm, and 2.1-2.5 mm when setting the parameter "Wall Thickness" at 1.5 mm. No vibration, the model prints faster, and the quality of the walls is the best possible - no cavities. ATTENTION!!! To see the inside of the walls, it's necessary to interrupt the test print at a height of 3.6 mm. Can you test for your printer and program slicers? Sorry for my English.
