For larger internal lattice networks, if the open run of the lattice network is close to the maximum build span, the solid skinned top surface of the lattice network will risk an incomplete closure. Because of internal stresses generated during the build, these unconnected areas raise and in turn cause the recoating blade to strike them, which results in a failed build.
