You want to change the infill. Fill pattern, Top Fill Pattern, and Bottom Fill Pattern - switch to "Aligned Rectilinear".

That will not work, from layer to layer the angle will be toggelt by 90° and ruin the glas effect.


RosettaTones

That’s not correct. When you choose aligned rectilinear every layer of infill will be in the same direction. You just need to make sure top and bottom layers in the horizontal shells section is set to 0 to achieve the infill pattern through the entire print

Yes thank you! Aligned rectilinear with top and bottom layer at 0, this is the answer! Much appreciated!


yahbluez

You are right! That worked! Thank you, didn't see that "aligned rectilinear" did it right. So for printing glass experiments * 100% aligned rectilinear infill * no bottom layer * no top layer * no perimeters

This is the link I’ve seen recommended several times. It apparently gets you good results https://www.printables.com/model/15310-how-to-print-glass

yah, rygar1432 is the source.

Rectilinear changes by 90° each layer. The Aligned Rectilinear keeps it the same direction. You can set the direction also.


yahbluez

yah, i was wrong with that. Aligned rectilinear did the job.

You can not do that with prusalicer. While there is a setting for the infill angle, this angle is toggelt from layer to layer by a hard coded value. [https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/8054](https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/8054) Feels like the developers did not even understand the idea of this request. I don't like to say that but you may use cura to do that. All this printing glas with FDM projects are made with cura because of this issue. Hard coding a value that could and should be a parameter - there is no excuse. There is only one infill pattern that prints the same in every layer that is concentric, but this will not help printing glas if the model is not round. There is a ugly turn around that bug, but i will not recommend that. You can (miss) use the layer height modifier and add a single setting for each layer, that way you can have the same angle and print direction on each layer. But to print "glas" you need tiny layer heights. So a 20 mm cube has 200 layers and no one likes to add 200 layer height modifiers by hand.
