Pusa 2.6 layer height variations
-
I have a small model that I am currently working with. I have set layer height to 0.1 mm and have not enabled variable layer height. In Prusa 2.6 alpha 5 the model shows as being 189 layers high. The overall model height is 14 mm so the Duet web interface tells me it should take 140 layers. The same model in PrusaSlicer 2.6 alpha 4 shows 211 layers in the preview.
PrusaSlicer 2.5 generates 139 layers for the same model as it should seeing the first layer is 0.2mm.
So, is this happening because 2.6 is an alpha build or does 2.6 do something weird and fancy which results in the extra layers being generated ? -
@jens55 do you have supports enabled? If you don't have them synchronised with the model layers, it often does larger support layers that end up between model layers (e.g 0.15mm layer height support for a 0.1mm layer height model)
-
@engikeneer, yup, that is it! I turned support off and PrusaSlicer gives me 139 layers in the preview. The option to synchronize is only available if the top contact z distance is zero.
Well that clears up that mystery .... thank you very much!
