Multimaterial Advanced

Interlocking Beam

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: interlocking_beam.
Generate interlocking beam structure at the locations where different filaments touch. This improves the adhesion between filaments, especially models printed in different materials.

Interface Shells

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: interface_shells.
Force the generation of solid shells between adjacent materials/volumes. Useful for multi-extruder prints with translucent materials or manual soluble support material.

Maximum Width of Segmented Region

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: mmu_segmented_region_max_width.
Maximum width of a segmented region. Zero disables this feature.

Interlocking depth of Segmented Region

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: mmu_segmented_region_interlocking_depth.
Interlocking depth of a segmented region. It will be ignored if \"mmu_segmented_region_max_width\" is zero or if \"mmu_segmented_region_interlocking_depth\" is bigger than \"mmu_segmented_region_max_width\". Zero disables this feature.

Interlocking Beam Width

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: interlocking_beam_width.
The width of the interlocking structure beams.

Interlocking Direction

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: interlocking_orientation.
Orientation of interlock beams.

Interlocking Beam Layers

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: interlocking_beam_layer_count.
The height of the beams of the interlocking structure, measured in number of layers. Less layers is stronger, but more prone to defects.

Interlocking Depth

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: interlocking_depth.
The distance from the boundary between filaments to generate interlocking structure, measured in cells. Too few cells will result in poor adhesion.

Interlocking Boundary Avoidance

Mode: Advanced.
Variable: interlocking_boundary_avoidance.
The distance from the outside of a model where interlocking structures will not be generated, measured in cells.
