Enhancement of Adaptive Layer Height Algorithm for Improved Surface Finish #3305

Closed yihong1120 closed 8 months ago

yihong1120 commented 11 months ago

Dear Orca Slicer Contributors,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to propose an enhancement to the adaptive layer height algorithm currently employed by Orca Slicer. Having utilised your software extensively, I have observed that while the existing functionality adeptly adjusts layer heights for varying geometries, there remains room for refinement, particularly in the realm of surface finish optimisation.

Current Observations: Upon close inspection of prints, especially those with gently sloping curves, one can discern minor stratification that detracts from the overall smoothness. This is particularly evident when printing with materials that inherently exhibit a high gloss finish.

Proposed Enhancement: I suggest the implementation of a more granular control mechanism within the adaptive layer height feature. This would allow for finer adjustments in layer height in response to the curvature of the model's surface. The aim would be to reduce the visibility of layer lines without significantly impacting print time.

Potential Benefits:

Further Considerations: To ensure that this enhancement aligns with user expectations, it may be prudent to conduct a survey or gather feedback from the community. Additionally, a beta testing phase could prove invaluable in refining the feature before its full release.

I am keen to hear your thoughts on this suggestion and would be delighted to contribute to the discussion or preliminary testing phases.

Thank you for your time and for your continued dedication to the development of Orca Slicer.

Best regards, yihong1120
