Radial center
With conformal infill: where the center of the spokes comes from. It can be worked out on each layer, on a straight line through all of them, or on a smooth curve.
How it works
On elongated shapes, conformal infill draws lines outward from a center. “Each layer” works out that center on each layer separately. It's simple, but the center can jump from one layer to the next and the infill doesn't line up from top to bottom.
“Axis” runs a straight line through the centers of all the layers, so the spokes line up. “Smooth curve” runs a curve instead, for parts whose center drifts as they get taller without jumping.
When to change it
- A column, a cylindrical pencil holder or a part that goes straight up: “Axis”.
- A part that curves as it rises, like a horn, a handle or a figure's neck: “Smooth curve”.
- Shapes that change a lot from one layer to the next: “Each layer”.

| Smooth curve | Centers that follow a curve |
Watch out for
- It only shows up when conformal infill is on.

What Bambu Studio says
Where the radial center comes from. Each layer picks a center on that slice. Axis fits one 3D line through those centers. Smooth curve fits a curve so the center does not jump between layers.

Using another slicer? Look for the idea, not the name: in Orca Slicer almost everything has the same name; in PrusaSlicer or Cura it may be called something else, or not exist.
