The amount of infill material to generate, expressed as a mathematical term-- specifically, ratio or a percentage.

Parameters

  • percent (%)
  • ratio

Can be zero.

Presets

  • Light : 10%
  • Standard : 30%
  • Heavy : 90%
  • Custom : user-defined (can be % or ratio)

Example(s)

A basic cube using Cura's infill pattern at 10%.

%

Using a ratio from 0 to 1. In this case, 0.89 translates to 89%. Actual infill will be 89% of the total area designated for infill.
