Hi I have a shape like

I want to fill the base with concrete so want to put a sparse hex structure in there to keep the concrete in place and add a little strength. I have tried the feature script hexfill with no success. I guess because of the curved surfaces involved.
What is the best way to add a grid or hex structure in the hollow base ?
Thanks

Maybe create a new solid part that fills the area and then use a slicing program for your printer that does a hex infill and apply the infill just to that filler part. I think prusia slicer has a 3d honeycomb infill.
Thanks I found

Which seems pretty awesome.
Glad you did! Perfect use case for it.
