ZGap won't work

Post by Acmeman76 »

Hi all
i've an issue with KIssslicer 1.6.3: i can't setting up the zgap trough the gcode generation, as you can see in the image i've set zgap 0.2 but no space in the 3d model neither in 2d.
What's wrong?
Greetings

So, the support layer heights are adjusted during export and not visible in the views after slicing.

When the G-code is exported, the Z-gap is present and is a value between 0 and 90% of current layer height (adaptive layers).

is the value for Zgap in % or absolute millimters?

what is the difference between the settings for "1st Zgap" and "Zgap". where might there be a Zgap that is not 1st?

1st Z-gap is for the raft; Z-gap is for the support interface

- Does it work the same way for fixed layer (I often print with fixed layer for the moment) ?
- Is there a way to bypass this value, because my support fuses to my object, it's very difficult to remove the support without damaging the object.

thanks

This has been added to the fault list:
Z-gap. Must be according to set value irrespective of layer height and must be able to be viewed after slicing.
