Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand 0% infill meaning
0% infill means no internal fill, but slicers still print solid top and bottom layers.Step 2: Explain why print is not hollow
These solid layers create a closed shell, so the print is not hollow inside.Final Answer:
The slicer adds a solid bottom and top layer regardless of infill -> Option DQuick Check:
0% infill still prints solid top/bottom layers [OK]
Quick Trick: 0% infill means hollow inside but solid top/bottom layers remain [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming 0% infill means fully hollow print
- Blaming printer hardware for infill issues
- Confusing filament thickness with infill
