Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. nope

Describe the solution you'd like Add posibility to get more control of layer height. not just only different first layer.

It would be helpful with printing with bigger nozzles (1mm or 1.5mm). Should improve bottom layers look in vase mode. So example: Nozzle 1mm. Line width for outer perimeter 1.2mm line width for inner perimeters and infils - 0.6mm (i use for those perimeters different flow - 75% to get nice resoults). Bottom layers 5 Layer height - 0.7mm

It would be nice to force cura to print bottom layers (5 bottom layers) with layer height 0.2mm. It should hide nasty holes after retraction. Generally such big bored nozzle gives me very visible seam.

Hi, I'll take a look at this but it will require quite a few changes to the code so may take a while to do.

I've just released https://github.com/smartavionics/Cura/releases/tag/4.20.17 which adds an option to disable the extra walls on bottom layers when spiralizing.
