Infill shift step

With “Cross Zag” or “Locked Zag”: shifts the pattern a few tenths of a millimeter on each layer, to create a 3D crisscross texture.

Not always visible. In Bambu Studio this setting only shows up when “Sparse infill pattern” is “Cross Zag” or “Locked Zag”. See Sparse infill pattern.

How it works

If each layer lands exactly on the one below, the lines stack into columns. If the pattern shifts 0.4 mm (the default) on each layer, the lines of one layer cross the gaps of the previous one and the whole thing interlocks, like a woven fabric. It holds together better between layers and has a distinctive texture.

When to change it

  • The usual: 0.4 mm.
  • A lamp or a basket in translucent filament, where the infill mesh is part of the design: 0.8–1 mm, for a bolder texture.
  • You want the lines stacked in straight columns: 0.

What Bambu Studio says

This parameter adds a slight displacement to each layer of infill to create a cross texture.
