Hole bottom shape

henry_feldman

Blind holes seem to always have a conical floor (end?) which is probably totally appropriate in "real" drilled holes. But of course in 3D printed parts, this means the slicer doesn't "cap" the bottom of the hole with "top" layers (and of course take longer to print than a single planar layer). Is there a way to set this?

Good point @henry_feldman , I've wanted this at times too.  Did you put in an improvement request?  If so I'll certainly add my vote.

You can go in with the delete face tool and select "cap void" in the dialog box. Select the end conical face of the hole and it will give you the results you are after.
