Top/Bottom pattern question

Posted · Top/Bottom pattern question

Is there a way to have the top surface and the bottom surface have the concentric pattern while the rest of the layers of the top and bottom use the line pattern?  What I'm thinking is that in some cases it would be nice to have the strength of the 90 deg alternating line pattern for most of the top and bottom, but for cosmetic reasons have the concentric pattern on the outermost skin layers.

 

So far, playing with the settings I've only been able to have the following combinations.

 

1)  All bottom and top layers lines.

2)  All bottom and top layers concentric.

3)  First bottom layer concentric, remaining bottom layers lines, top layers all lines.

 

I have not been able to create first bottom layer concentric, remaining bottom layers lines, all but the final top layers lines, final top layer concentric.

 

Also, what does the Top Surface Skin Layers setting do?  I haven't seen it impact anything in the preview.

    Set top surface skin layers to 1 (or more) and then the experimental setting top surface skin pattern becomes visible and you can set a different pattern for the very topmost skin(s).

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
