What is pillowing?

Pillowing = bulging of the top surface of the model - looks like a pillow. Plastic is „blown up" between infill cells.

Causes

  • Few top layers - less than 4
  • Low infill
  • Weak cooling

Solution

Raise top layer count to 5-7. Raise infill to 20%+. Enable 100 % cooling for top layers.
