Hey y'all. I am trying to do a max perimeter style print, and want to know how to remove these smaller sections. I know I could reduce wall count until I remove them, however that isnt dynamic, and leaves larger gaps than I want in other areas. Is there a setting in PrusaSlicer im missing? I messed around with a few but they didnt give me the results I was looking for.

Can't you make the infill concentric? That should help.

Isn't that possible only for top/bottom layer?

Set top and bottom solid layers to 1. Set infill to concentric and then set infill percentage to 100%.

It should get rid of most triangles.

Unfortunately that has the same issue as well. These triangles are due to the 3 closest perimeter lines meeting, thus concentric ends up with the same issue.

Then I am afraid you can't eliminate all triangles. If you had an extruder with variable extrusion width, then it might have worked. Why are you trying to eliminate the triangles anyway?

Yellow is perimeter lines, the goal is to not use infill at all, and to just use multiple perimeter passes.

Direction specific force loading. In this particular instance, Having it run the infill along the perimeter of the part would improve it.
