Sounds great!

And that was on a 20x20 test cube.
Imagine the time you save on bigger prints, without having to sacrifice the outer finish/look!

I suppose for big objects might be good. I suppose small areas might suffer from too fast print with little fantime. But indeed nice

An interesting topic, since I would love to use 0.1 for the external pieces of BB-8 but the part needs the strength of thicker layers (and the Triangle infill).

I was playing with this a bit this morning and found something odd.

It appears that this feature only works of the infill density is 40% or less? (in Cura 2.4 Beta)
At least it does not work with 100% infill, that's for sure, I am printing a part right where the infill is supposed to be 0.3 mm and the walls 0.15, but infill obviously is 0.15 too.

When testing the settings in Cura the print time does not decrease when you increase the infill layer thickness if infill density is more than 40% and the preview also indicated it stops working over 40%.

I think 100% infill is still a frontend hack where it changes top or bottom layers to 9999 and skips normal infill.

On CURA 2.3.1, the 0.3 "Infill Layer Thickness" tweak works fine from 1% infill to 30% infill.

Yes, the 99.99% Infill tweak is good to reduce printing time ! I will never print with 100% Infill now !

Ohh, so that is why Cura 2.4 sometimes insists to print the infill at 30mm/s even thought it is set to 60mm/s.
Thanks a lot, I did not connect that bug to the 100% infill setting.

100 % ≠ to 99.99% but not so far....

It works really well with 40% infill though, at least with 1.75 mm filament and direct drive

Instantly switching from 30 mm/s at 0.1 mm layer hight (outer wall) to 60 mm/s at 0.3 mm layer height (infill) is no match for the direct drive, it only underextrudes the first few millimeters:

Hi All
Now that's what I would integrate into Cura as infill :
