Feature Request: Tie Support Z-Offset to Layer Height

[inspectionsbybob]

trafficstars

Version

2.4.58.5

Operating system type + version

NA

Behavior

As the Support Z-Offset can ONLY be a multiple of the layer height, modify the Entry of support Z Offset value so that values are restricted to that. If the layer Height is .3mm the Z-Separation can't be .2 or .4, but only .3 or .6mm. A .15 layer can only have .15 or .30 or .45 etc...

Raft Separation should ALSO be this way

This MAY help with support removal as setting the Z-Height to something other than a multiple of layer height may result in stubborn supports.

Is this a new feature request? Yes

Project File (.3MF) where problem occurs

Upload a Project File (.3MF) Plater -> Save Project as... You have to zip it (or rename it to .zip) to be able to drag& drop it here

The support z can be and IS different from the layer height. ALL supports are sliced with an independent layer height normally and have been since forever. Its why if you slice a model with supports enabled you end up with a greater layer count than you would expect. The slicer makes that decision and it doesn't even obey the limits for layer height set in the extruder settings.

Ok, close it...
