    In fill

    I'm wanting to do a large Number ( 2 ) that's about 3cm thick. I don't want it solid so will use maybe a 10% Infill? So is there a way of knowing what thickness the sides/top or bottom will be?

    You have to set your shells. Probably one shell will be good enough if you just want it for show.

    Yeah, pretty common term here, not something you really blink twice at reminds me of these candies/lollies we used to have here called 'Fags' , imported from the U.S or mexico I think.... they were fake cigarette candies.. they changed the name to 'Fads' (which is sorta still applicable lol...)

    I wanted to get this thread on track, so I re-read the first post again.. "I'm wanting to do a large Number ( 2 ) that's about 3cm thick."

    and all I could do was burst into laughter, sorry, I will be no use here...

    I remember fags in Australia - they had a red tip on them. I always preferred the cigars, though. You had to remember to take the gold foil band off otherwise you'd get a nasty shock halfway through.

    Enough nostalgia. Wall width is the vertical shells perimeters setting in Slic3r under Print Settings / Layers and perimeters. Top and bottom are in the Horizontal shells part of the same settings section.
