Vase Mode - Allow more overlap between perimeters?
Is there a way to allow more overlap between perimeters in vase mode? From my experiments, it looks like the thinnest feature needs to be greater than 0.1mm+nozzle diameter.
Below I have a slice of a test part with progressively thinner features (see drawing.) The nozzle diameter is 0.4 mm in this test.
RE: Vase Mode - Allow more overlap between perimeters?
For a 'normal' 0.4mm nozzle profile the extrusion widths are usually set to 0.45. As such things that go too far below the extrusion width are not sliced. This is true regardless of its its a vase mode print or not. Look around and you will see many threads with 'I cant print X', which are usually the result of a feature being smaller than the extrusion width. That's one of the things the new arachne slicing engine is supposed to help with as it adjusts the width on the fly to cope with changing perimeter thicknesses. Even it has trouble with some thin features though (at least with the default settings).
Vase mode isn't really designed to do thin things, its designed to do solid things with a single perimeter so your results are not surprising in the least.
Most people printing vase mode increase their extrusion width considerably to give a thicker more stable wall. 0.6mm extrusions from a 0.4mm nozzle are not uncommon.
