1mm tall part sliced at 0.1mm yields 4 layers ?? - Confused

[BiMNrd 11]

Okay guys, I am confused, I thought that if I have 0.1 mm layer height and I am building a 1 mm part, I would end up with 10 layers.

how come CURA is only giving me 4 ?

Is the model sitting on the buildplate ? Perhaps the z value is < 0?

I feel like a rookie.. lol

That is what it was, during the scale from inches to metric it moved into the build plate. Thank you.

 

I struggle to rememeber that step at times, I wish there was a way for the models to NOT go into the build plate unless we make them go in. Sort of like the "scale small items"

[burtoogle 516]

There is an option in the preferences to automatically drop the model onto the buildplate. I don't use it myself but perhaps that would help you?

Thank you , yes you are right. I will check it out. I think with what just happened I will me much more aware.
