1.2.8-dev 1st layer and 2nd layer around the wrong way or miscalculated. Also top layers not touching edge.

My first layer is set for 0.3mm so it should be bigger with less lines than the second layer set at 0.21mm. The layers are reversed for some reason. Can you flip these the right way around please?

Layer 1: 0.3mm is not 0.3mm but 0.21mm

Layer 2: 0.21mm is not 0.21mm but 0.3mm

Here the bottom layer is thicker which looks right.

You should file separate issues for separate problems.

Don't know about the second issue, but what's wrong with the first and second layers of the box? What do you mean by "bigger" and "smaller"? From your pictures it looks like the layer heights are correct. It doesn't look like you've specified any extrusion widths, so a 0.3mm layer height will result in thinner extrusions than a 0.21mm layer. It looks right to me.

0.3mm is bigger so the bottom layer should have less lines. 0.3mm is bigger than 0.2mm. I'm sure this is a mistake in the program.

Hi kefir, I just fixed this post and made it one layer issue. I thought putting both together would be useful but will make another post for objects not having top or bottom layers.

0.3mm is the layer height. You're extruding a cylinder of plastic from your printer's hotend, and if you squeeze that to thinner layers, the extrusion will be wider. That results in fewer lines in your second layer. Conversely, when you print a thicker layer it'll be squeezed less, and you'll have thinner extrusions, like in your first layer.

If you want wider (bigger?) extrusions and fewer lines and a thicker first layer, you'll need to change your first layer extrusion width under advanced settings.

I understand that but my settings are default in the Advanced section. I'm not choosing to make it fatter and flatter as the instruction say. If I want it to do that I know I can set it there but it is at the default of 0. Please mouse over the infill field. It says how the settings work there.

1st layer: 0.3mm

2nd layer: 0.21mm

I think something is wrong with the calculation.

[a4jp-com]

I couldn't delete the 0.21 number from the field. It gave me strange numbers.

[a4jp-com]

There are also 5 layers instead of 3 like I set.

[a4jp-com]

I just changed the bottom layer count to 2 but there was a 4th and 5th layer.

[a4jp-com]

I made a mistake pointing at the top 3 but the bottom 3 is what I was meant to be pointing at.

I don't see the problem. A thicker layer (in Z) will have thinner extrudates (in XY), so more lines. It's normal.

Can you see the weird gap of the top layers? And I'll make another video to show where the miscalculation is unless it is the program trying to do something smart.

Everything looks okay now in 1.2.9-dev ^^
