Option to force alternating perimeter printing direction every other layer
timnk opened this issue · comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When printing and sintering metal or ceramic filled filaments, the inner tensions in the part introduced by printing every perimeter in the same direction results in a twisted geometry after sintering.
Describe the solution you'd like
This problem can be resolved by reversing the printing direction ov the perimeters every other layer. I would like to have an experimental option that would do this in SuperSlicer. A simple checkbox in the GUI would be perfect. It could be located either unter Print Settings -> Periemters & Shells or somewhere under Filament Settings, since it is really only needed for specific filaments.
Describe how it would work
It seems like SuperSlicer is already capible of reversing the printing direction, because the parameter "overhangs_reverse" exists. Maybe this coud be built upon?
Describe alternatives you've considered
so far I have unsucessfully tried to get Cura and IdeaMaker working, since they have this feature implemented as far as i know. However I find the Interfaces unnessesary complicated and I am a lot more familiar with SuperSlicer.
I hope i could describe my suggestion sufficently and see it implemented in the future
In any case,
Thank you for developing this awesome software!
it will be in next 2.5 nightly.
But it won't be merged into the next 2.5 release, as it's not a bugfix (will be in 2.7).
