Outside Perimeter Inset-Offset and two more

Post by McNugget6750 »

Hey guys,

I've been using KisSlicer as my main and only slicer for a very long time now and
I have three feature requests that would benefit your software quite a bit:

- Ability to change the inset offset for outer perimeters and inner perimeters
(holes) separately to realize even move precision. The inset feature is THE BEST
I have seen for 3D printers. It works like a charm and I can design parts to
press-fit tolerances. 15mm are exactly 15mm. However, this causes the part
outside to shrink as well such that 45mm outlines are only 44.7 or less. This can
help when I have parts that need to fit into each other but I would love to have
control over that offset as well. Would you think detecting the outer perimeter
and adding a separate inset-offset option for that would be a huge effort?

Thanks guys and keep up the great work!
Timo

Bringing this back up:
To be clear, this is the setting I'm talking about:

It would be amazing to be able to have separate settings for holes/pockets and perimeters!

- Outside Inset
