problem when slicing on any slicer
whenever i slice any model (my own or others) and go to use the slider, the model turns grey and only shows the prosses of printing the last few layers. im able to save the file and print the model, i just cant see the preview past the top few layers. this happens with prusa slicer but it also happen in cura as well. not sure if this is a problem with my pc or...? can anyone help?
RE: problem when slicing on any slicer
Usually we'd ask for a project file to be uploaded so we can check settings but you're saying this happens with every model and—importantly—every slicer you've tried, so my money is on a problem with the graphics card. Hopefully someone who is more of a hardware guy than I am can offer more specific advice.

RE: problem when slicing on any slicer
In PrusaSlicer or Cura when you slice the model then you see the preview of sliced model.
When you move the slider on the bottom it will show how given selected layer will be printed.
You can select given layer on the slider to the right.
On the screenshots you provided you see the last layer (so you see the whole model already printed with previous layers), and when you touch the slider on the bottom then the rest will turn gray and show only this layer.
If you want to see how first layers are printed then just move right slider to the bottom or given section that you are interested in, and then use bottom layer to see the print progres (start is on the left, end is on the right).

Here's video in action how it works (though I use arrow keys to move left right and it was in the beginning 'backwards')
