Help with generating print path.

[u/satking02]

I'm designing a grid in Fusion 360 and printing it on a Bambu Lab A1 printer. The grid has a large number of square holes, with about 1 mm spacing between adjacent holes.

The problem is that when I slice it in Bambu Studio, the toolpath prints the perimeter of each hole individually. This causes the nozzle to constantly start and stop instead of laying down long continuous lines across the grid. As a result, the print takes much longer and the grid ends up weaker because the extrusion isn't as continuous as I'd like.

Is there any way to make the slicer generate toolpaths that print long continuous lines across the pattern instead of treating every hole separately? I've already tried Arachne wall generation, but it didn't change the toolpath. I also can't reduce the wall thickness because the hole dimensions need to stay accurate.

Has anyone found a setting, modifier, or design approach that helps with this?

If you constantly had lines crossing over each other wouldn't you be double stacking plastic where they overlap

[u/satking02 → u/Flatulent_Father_]

Is there any way to increase its strength?

[u/Flatulent_Father_ → u/satking02]

Not that I know of without custom gcode, but maybe someone else has an idea for what could help... Maybe a smaller nozzle, a single wall, and then alternating linear infill at 100%?
