Add additional layers to top skin

Post by abecker »

Is there a way to only add additional layers to the top of a model? I get a very thin top, but I don't want to add additional loops around the outside.

Skin Thickness.

Only problem is that it also applies to the bottom.

I was thinking that was it, but the tooltip says "(all surfaces: top, sides, and bottom)"

It does not change the perimeter settings on vertical sides, only the dense infill inside the perimeters of sloping sides so that vertical thickness is at least that value.

It sets the dense fill on top and bottom.

So just to make sure I understand, if I have a 0.4mm nozzle and set the skin thickness to 1.2mm, and set loops to 2, it will still only do 2 loops for the walls?

That is correct. Slice and see.
