Retraction Calibration Model Issue #4097

Closed Apjones252 closed 4 months ago

Apjones252 commented 5 months ago

What happened?

Retraction calibration towers do not anchor the center number section to the perimeter frame, or to the build plate for that matter. I would expect this layer to be printed on the build plate and not one layer above the first. This leads to poor detail of the numbers, and often a failed print, if it drags that entire section around. I have seen this through multiple versions, and do not know if this is maybe a slicer setting I have that is impacting this behavior. Or is this actually an "issue" with the model generation?

This may be intentional, however I do not know why one would want only the number section to print a layer higher than the first layer, please correct me if this is intentional, or my settings are off. Thank you!

It would be amazing to see an option added which allows some initial layer thickness settings for the model or something similar. Thanks for any help, or guidance as I would love not to have to custom make my retraction towers with modifiers and a different model than that which is found in Super Slicer. 

Layer1: SSRetraction_layer1

Layer2: SSRetraction_layer2

Project file & How to reproduce

.3mf & .stl file: retraction_calibration.zip

  1. Slice retraction calibration model
  2. Go to preview tab
  3. Go to layer 1 of sliced model
  4. Now go to layer 2 of sliced model
  5. Note layer 1 doesn't fill the center rectangle but layer 2 does fill the center rectangle with test temperature (numbers)
