Some pix that serve as a stick in the ground showing that my current Slic3r configuration constellation doesn’t produce thin infill…

All of the layers in the 20 mm calibration cube look just like this:

The bottom layer of the Tux mold comes out solid:

As does the top:

The Gcode Analyzer algorithm that assigns colors to numeric values tends to produce many aliases, although most of the time you can figure out what’s going on. If somebody wants to dive into the code, I’d like to have unique colors and get the color table sorted in ascending order.

The current Slic3r configuration:
