Cone editing the diameter

Hello,

I would like to ask you about editing diameter of the cone. If I change the size X, the sizes change at one point shown in dimensions. But I would like to set another dimension X at top of the cone and at the bottom of the cone. It is possible in PrusaSlicer?

Thank you.

The slicer is not the place for design work - but your cone is very simple CAD.

Here is a sample script in OpenSCAD (free parametric CAD) which will generate a cone - you left out a few dimensions so you will have to edit the first four variables:

// Simple cone

topd=35; // outside diameters
botd=84;
tall=120;

thick=3; // inside diameter is calculated from this

$fn=100; // smoothing parameter

difference(){
  cylinder(d1=botd,d2=topd,h=tall);
  cylinder(d1=botd-thick*2,d2=topd-thick*2,h=tall);
}

 Copy and paste this into OpenSCAD, render it then export as STL which you import into slicer as usual.

 Cheerio,
