possible to add beef to top surface?

Did anybody feel the need to add some more material in the last top layer of flat objects?

sometimes happens to me to have the final top filling not perfectly filled. Maybe it's because of the low internal density (0.10-0.15)? In any case it would be fine if I could just push some more material in the last layer only.

Any advise?
Thanks

How many solid layers do you have after the infill? I find it takes three to get a solid top when w/t is 1.5, more if it is higher.

I use always 3 layers, both on side walls and top and bottom. What do you mean with w/t?

Ok got it, sorry! width over thickness - I keep this at 1.3 - is this the problem? Saving material... grinning smiley
