How to determine exact diameters of ring model for perfectly conical infill?
I'd like to make a ring that is exactly 4 layers thick from the inside out and give me 100% infill. As in 4 perfect circles that just touch on each side.
Looking at Prusa slicer I see I can set infill to 100% and then select concentric for fill pattern... But how do I determine the inner/outer diameter relationship for the model itself?
I see that my layer widths are 0.45mm. This makes me think I should set the outer diameter to be 3.6mm more than the inner diameter. because each layer is repeated side to side and 8x0.45mm=3.60mm.
Is this correct or is there some amount of overlap I need to account for as well?

look in the perimeter settings and you can see a dimension for each number of perimeter - that might help

RE:
The perimeters can be adjusted there but knowing how many only helps if I know how wide they will be!
I suppose I could alter the number of horizontal shells solid layers to be the same as the overall number of layers in the model to force it to make everything continuous...
I mean I basically want to do a spiral vase but multiple layers thick and base the whole thing off the outer diameter. These fit down into something else so I only care about the OD and having it be 100% solid.
