what is "Recommended thin wall thickness"?
hello, i'm trying to understand prusa slicer and i'm reading this
https://help.prusa3d.com/article/layers-and-perimeters_1748#perimeters
and it says
Recommended thin wall thickness
and then it says
"For a selected number of perimeters and layer height, PrusaSlicer calculates the optimal thin wall thickness."
what thin wall thickness where?
the thin wall thickness of what? the bottom? the top? the perimeter? the infill? of what?
thank you
RE: what is "Recommended thin wall thickness"?
When they say the “thin wall thickness,” they are talking about a recommended thickness for your perimeters so that they can overlap and interconnect properly to create good walls. Changing this will determine how much the perimeters are overlapping.

I guess they could have called it "recommended minimum perimeter thickness". From the extensive explanation on the help page it's pretty clear that this refers to the recommended thickness of perimeter walls, specifically:
You may think, that when the extrusion width for a perimeter is 0.45 mm, two perimeters will be 0.90 mm wide (2x0,45). However, if you look at the recommendation for a 0.2 mm layer height, you will find that this is not true and the suggested value is 0.86 mm.

if by "extensive" you mean "a complete word salad that doesn't mean anything" i agree, it is very extensive
extensive, but not very helpful 🙁
