7 years ago As of now, you can achieve the same effect using the modifier meshes. You may create a "slab" modifier mesh in the Slic3r. I know it could be made more convenient, but the tools are there already.

Feature Request
Setting variable layer height overrides allows only for the layer height to be changed. This does not allow for the inclusion of any other print characteristics that are often associated with printing with different layer heights, whether that be speeds, solid infill layers at the top/bottom, etc.
Current behavior:
- From the Plater tab:
- Click the Settings button.
- Select the Layers tab.
- Set layer height overrides for defined Z ranges.
Desired behavior:
- From the Platter tab:
- Click the Settings button.
- Select the Layers tab.
- Set Print and Filament settings overrides for defined Z ranges.
Or (if we're feeling ambitious), add a view in Plater with sliders for Z ranges that is independent of the current layer heights, and allow the Print and Filament settings selected using the existing controls in the current Plater tab view to be applied to the selected Z range. Comments
(I originally added this as a comment to #378 https://github.com/prusa3d/Slic3r/issues/378, but it looks like the focus of that feature request is no longer on what I am describing here.)
I'm using this feature for the first time, and before I found the dialog to assign layer height overrides, I was looking for something like the layer range sliders in the print preview, with the ability to set the Print Settings (and possibly Filament) for the selected layer range. In my scenario, I wanted an initial, thinly sliced region to use more solid infill layers on the top and bottom, but wanted fewer infill layers in the range using thicker layers. This is a simple scenario; single extruder, no filament swapping, just a desire to apply all aspects of a Print Setting to the layer range.
It seems like assigning settings to layer ranges, the same way we now assign them to the entire job, would allow for more detailed customization during layer editing, using existing, recognizable configuration structures.

Either way, it would allow for the application of different characteristics (infill percentage, perimeter count, etc.) for different Z ranges, even if the layer height is not different in the selected settings.
