Hmm I think I figured it out but I appreciate your support, it appeared to be a caper to do with my 150% first layer height. Thanks

Overheal

I have a thin accent piece part to print that is modeled to a height of 0.600 mm (S3D confirms the mesh is that high)

When I slice it with a 0.2 mm layer height, I get 2 layers (0.4 mm), when I use 0.1 mm layers I get 5 layers (0.5 mm)

What might cause this behavior

Thanks for that.

I have 2 different Process profiles, one was supplied by download by my printer's manufacturer bespoke for Simplify3D, the other is a default Simplify3D profile generated by the software for the Printer, but I have gone parameter-by-parameter throu...

Thank you for that answer. It kind of makes sense, I don't see what it does for the print per se but I appreciate the extra info.

WHY WHY Please help, There must be something I'm missing 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg I had the issue crop up again on a new model and a different process and can reaffirm the solution here was to change the extrusion gcode Go to the settings for the process...

Could also be an issue with relative vs absolute E-values in the gcode. If the starting script accidentally puts things into absolute mode, but the process settings are set to use relative E values, you sometimes get missing segments like that. Checking the flow rate preview coloring mode should ma...

This happens even with coasting disabled.
