Trouble with ColorPrint

So I am trying to add some color changes to a model (for the first time) but there is a problem with the layer heights in ColorPrint itself.

I sliced it with the first layer at 0.2 and each other layer is 0.15. For some reason when I upload the STL to ColorPrint it will list the layers as 0.2, 0.35, 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 0.95, 1.1, 1.6..... whut? 😯

For some reason it is telling me there is a 0.5mm layer there and it is screwing up ever single layer height to come after. I try to enter the correct layer height manually but it will auto adjust my numbers to the next closest layer height it thinks it should be. When I sliced the model and previewed the layers in Slic3r the layers all come out to the correct heights which is how I found out where I wanted the changes.

Re: Trouble with ColorPrint

Are you slicing with Z-Lift/Z-Hop ?

Re: Trouble with ColorPrint

It looks to me like the colorprint site is broken. Maybe related to the addition of the multi-material selection.
I can load a gcode and set layer changes, but when I select download, nothing happens.
I've used it successfully in the past.
Anyone else having problems?

Yes I also have a problem with colorprint. I mentioned it in another post with my way of resolving it : http://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/print-tips-slic3r-settings-kisslicer-model-repair--f12/colorprint-problems-t4447.html
