Simplify3D layer directions for infill and top layers

Post by boep777 » Sun Jan 24, 2016 8:18 pm

Hi, I have a strange problem: Simplify3D does last infill and following top layer using the same movement instead of criss-cross like it does for multiple infills or top layers. This makes first layer on top of infill look pretty bad with low filling factors. Is there a way to fix it ? Thanx!

Try swapping the infill angles. You have something like -45, 45; try 45, -45.
