Currently, slic3r uses
support_material_extrusion_width
for interfaces. Assigning very low values tosupport_material_extrusion_width
makes supports very easy to break which is very a good feature. But whensupport_material_extrusion_width
is very low, interfaces don't stick to neither the lower support layers nor the adjacent extrusion lines.So what I do is to define a new configuration parameter for support material interfaces, and I can still use very low values
support_material_extrusion_width
and higher values for support material interfaces for reliable extrusion. For example:For
nozzle_diameter = 0.4
;support_material_extrusion_width = 0.4
makes the supports very thin and easy to break andsupport_material_interface_extrusion_width = 0.5
makes reliable and accurate extrusion lines for interfaces.PR does not create any BC break, if the
support_material_interface_extrusion_width
is not defined,support_material_extrusion_width
orextrusion_width
will be used as the old behaviour.
