Using Infill Mesh with CURA
Have you tried the new infill mesh function in Ultimaker CURA?
You can now determine very easily sections of your 3d model to have different #mesh density, pattern, wall thickness etc to make more functional 3d Print
Picture attached is and experiment on a finger making the joints more flexible with less infill. The last image is showing a dense infill mesh on the handle of a mallet.
Other application would be to make a section of a part more durable while minimising print material for the non essential parts.
This was done on an Ultimaker 2 but if you do it on an Ultimaker 3 you can also print with a different material for the infill.
This is perhaps one of the most powerful function developed by Ultimaker enabling more functional prints.
