  1. I thought that for the slicing tolerance of middle it slices all normal layers in the middle, but the initial layer at an offset.

     

    Example:

    0.1mm layer height, 0.2mm initial layer height gives layers at the heights:

    0.15 0.25 0.35 0.45 0.55

     

    So the initial layer is sliced at a height of half the normal layer height below the initial layer height.

  2. The union only works if it's one model, not if it's multiple models.

     

    If you can select both volumes separately Cura will not union them. If you try to select one and you always automatically select both then Cura can merge them. It is therefore impossible to have per-object-settings and also use the unioning.

     

    If you want you can join several models into one model, by exporting them to one STL in Cura. If you then clear your build plate and load in the one STL with multiple volumes then they get unioned.

    I'm trying to achieve THAT but with the added mix of fuzzying certain part.

    This is not possible.

     

    I like Makers Muse's videos, though. You can merge bunnies by enabling the setting Union Overlapping Volumes, but it only works if those volumes are part of the same STL model.

     

    I wrote most of the CuraEngine code; I know quite well what is possible and what not. Take it from me that it is curerntly not possible to have partly fuzzy walls in a seamless way.

  4. I'm not sure what's going on. Build volume has always been a very eluding mistress. There are a lot of hardware tolerances and even software tolerances to take into account.

     

    In order to get the maximum out of Cura, you should set the platform adhesion to none and turn off support. 

  5. You were going in the right direction, but amde a wrong turn.

     

    Reducing the stair stepping to zero prevents some unwanted behavior, but reducing the interface thickness is a bad idea. That makes the interface areas very small, such that they sometimes are too small to be printed. If you don't want a support interface you can simply disable it.

    Other than that you might want to set the minimum support XY distance to zero as well. Or set the Priority to XY overrides Z.

  6. I already implemented that feature a couple of years ago, but there was no way for the user to actually use it. The UI was never implemented and so the idea finally got abandoned.

     

    It's true that aim my more features becomes more difficult if you have to think about all possible interactions with other features, but that doesn't stop anybody from implementing new in ones.
