Is your feature request related to a problem?
Lightning infill results tend to be less than ideal;
because the ends are thin, end abruptly and are prone to blobbing
(as well as seemingly not changing at all based on sparse infill settings),
bridges don't connect to them well (and start printing midair) and can't be printed as a single path per layer, leading to unnecessary retractions.
Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?
All
Describe the solution you'd like
I propose an "organic" or tree-like infill that can print the entire lightning segment in one continuous line per layer to minimise travel moves.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Changing sparse infill settings.
Creating my own custom in-model "supports" (but these don't carry over support settings and have to be made every single time you edit the model).
Wasting more filament on a different infill than the entire model's outer wall weight.
Additional context
It would probably have to be more circle based so it could have an infill in its own infill while still remaining as a continuous path.
And would require more settings (such as threshold angle, branch angle etc. that lightning infill could also use, or maybe it would be easier to create a separate category of infill under support idk, I typed too much and am now delirious).
