Hey y'all. I am trying to do a max perimeter style print, and want to know how to remove these smaller sections. I know I could reduce wall count until I remove them, however that isnt dynamic, and leaves larger gaps than I want in other areas. Is there a setting in PrusaSlicer im missing? I messed around with a few but they didnt give me the results I was looking for.

Can't you make the infill concentric? That should help.

Isn't that possible only for top/bottom layer?

Set top and bottom solid layers to 1. Set infill to concentric and then set infill percentage to 100%.

It should get rid of most triangles.

Unfortunately that has the same issue as well. These triangles are due to the 3 closest perimeter lines meeting, thus concentric ends up with the same issue.

Then I am afraid you can't eliminate all triangles. If you had an extruder with variable extrusion width, then it might have worked. Why are you trying to eliminate the triangles anyway?
