Request for clarification on layer height

Open tumes opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I've actually printed a fair few of these and I'm loving them, but I have a question regarding the layer height recommendation since I've been post-processing them and wanted to make sure I was being maximally efficient. When you recommend 0.16 for layer height, does that also include the first layer? I'm asking because the slicer I use (Prusa) defines the first layer height separately from the subsequent ones, and depending on which profile you're starting from I reckon that disparity could account for all sorts of quirkiness.

Regardless thanks for your hard work! I fabbed up some of your beta PCBs and I'm looking forward to slowly building this out!

Yeah, the 0.16mm layer height also includes the first layer. It doesn't matter that much though because all that happens if you choose an indivisible layer height is you get slightly more wobble on the top-left/bottom-right range of motion. It really doesn't matter that much unless you really hate even the tiniest wobble in your switches (which only happens when your fingers are on them--because the magnets hold them steady when at rest regardless).
