Why are line width % based of layer heigh?
I don’t understand that if you add a % value in line width, it will base it of layer height and not nozzle size. If it was based of nozzle size (which is logical) you would not need several profiles for 0.4/0.5/0.6mm nozzles for example.
RE: Why are line width % based of layer heigh?
Is there a question in there ?
The simplest answer is , because it is. It’s a very old historical choice from before it was even Prusa Slicer.
It’s one of those fundamental things that if they just changed how it works it would break any existing profile that uses it. So now they are stuck with it until they make that choice which they are very averse to doing.
RE: Why are line width % based of layer heigh?
Could give us an option deep down in the preference or something. So we that want to clean our profiles up can use it. I understand that they do not want to break old profiles but give us an option then. That way we can all be happy.

Still don't see a question there. If you just want to have a general chat about how the stupid software makes no sense then I will bow out and leave you to it. I happen to agree with you but I have had this conversation many times in the past already.
If you want something changed, ie a feature request, or want to report a software defect then that has to be done on the Prusa Slicer github site. That is located https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues This is just a user to user forum where we try and provide help to those in need.
Be aware that there are nearly 3000 open active issues and nearly 7000 closed ones. SO please check if something has been raised before in both open and closed before adding a new one.
I can however tell you that this has been brought up many many many times already. Such as https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/10329 (a very recent proposal), or https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/10084 , which is a recent closed one, in there Rtyr does mention they have plans to do something about this.
RE: Why are line width % based of layer heigh?
How could you miss my question? It’s the topic of the thread. “Why are line width % based of layer heigh?”
Also this is a forum right? Maybe you missed what forum means 🤷♂️
”a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.”
RE: Why are line width % based of layer heigh?
Yeah as I said if you want to just chat and vent about the software go ahead. Discuss it to death. It already has been, many times.
You seemed to be trying to report an issue with how it works though, that isn’t done on the forum.
RE: Why are line width % based of layer heigh?
It’s not an issue since it says in the description in the slicer that it’s based of layer height. I was just wonder why since that made no sense to me. You answered and I just stated that there could be an easy solution for us that wanted it.
