This seems to be a bit counter-intuitive... Shouldn't Process 2 (top) start where Process 1 (bottom) ends? I'm getting gaps between the two.

tonyno

Thanks. Since I can't specify a Process by layers, would I just use the layer height? In this case, 0.4mm, or, the 150% first-layer height? Is it actually 50%, or, 0.2mm for that first, flattened layer? Then, the compensation would be half the layer height?

No Mac stuff here.

I have designed a few parts to compensate for the first-layer-thickness increase and they worked well (simple bevel). This came after trimming the "flash" from my first batch of parts. Can anyone think of a way to do this automatically via the vast amount of settings in S3D? Maybe a second...

Different model, same wall thickness. Not sure why you are seeing it differently. Does upping the extrusion width to 0.5mm actually over-extrude to achieve that? Coming in from another angle... I measured a print from last night and found that the model-to-print wall thickness difference was about 0...

I've only seen this happen when there are internal features on the top layer.

I like this idea. Sketchup and several other apps that I use have file-preview icons. Very handy.

tonyno

Thanks. I've tried up to 50% so far.

Here's a ff.

Good idea, but, no. That just makes hollow walls.

tonyno

I have some parts with walls that are 0.047" and had thought there should be a setting combo where I could just get concentric paths forming those walls. The standard infill for that space seems like it will eventually shake the printer apart. :lol: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6626323/w...
