3d printing, inventing, experimenting, they all go together. One of the unfortunate side effects of experimentation is that I sometimes get myself in trouble. I checked a couple of boxes in Cura, just to see what they did. Then I forgot about it. This made for an interesting couple of days while I tried to figure out why all of my holes disappeared when I sliced my model. Upon further research, it turns out that this setting does have a good purpose. Sometimes, designers will introduce internal cavities into a model to suit a particular manufacturing process. These don’t work well when 3d printing, so rather than forcing designers to remove all of the internal cavities Cura just included this button for them.
