More settings for Top Layer only for better top finish

Yup, something like that is exactly what I'm looking for too.

In addition to being able to have more than 45/-45 and concentric for top and bottom layers

I would like an option for top/bottom layers to print at 0/90 degrees (in addition to 45/-45 degrees).

+1 on this for sure.

As a new S3D user, this is one of my biggest issues. I'm struggling to get good surface finish with S3D on small items (Keychains to be specific)

Default Cura settings = great finish
Hours of tweaking S3D settings = moderate results

yeah I know... broken record. I have the exact same beef. I have been struggling with a relatively simple series of models (floors of a building) but they have multiple flat top surfaces and each of the 9 models are different. S3D support went back to the multiple processes standard reply.. .ugh. I would have to determine layers and heights and create processes 9 x (at least) 3 for this job. I am up to 6 solid top layer and 25% infill on a 150 x 600mm print (various layers between 2mm and 22 mm) and it's still not solid... more infill and you can imagine the time and material (it's already 1 kg)

I did some manual screwing about and even the simplest adjustment would help for example with 4 top layers if I do 2 super quickly - it looks crappy BUT it bridges nicely enough to provide a superb base for layers 3 and 4... I also don't understand what other slicers are doing because I have NEVER had this issue with any of MakerBot's sliced models... I should NOT need to have 6+ layers (at 0.3mm) and still not have a solid surface. even at 10-15% infill.

Soooo... +1 (many times?)

Don't understand why this would not be an option.

Add one more person who really would love this option.
