Different line width for top and bottom

[petronel 0]

I can only find "Top/Bottom Line Width" setting, is there no possibility to set different line width for top and bottom?

It would be very useful, using a high value for bottom (like 150% of nozzle size) would greatly reduce print speed for large flat objects, but using the same value for top is not a good idea.

 

I generally like using higher values for speed and strength, but it's problematic for overhangs, bridges and the first top layers, so it would be great to be able to set a different line width for these.

I would love to see this!

We introduce the following settings in Cura 5.2:

-          Initial Layer Outer Wall Flow

-          Initial Layer Inner Wall Flow

-          Initial Layer Bottom Layer Flow

But I believe your request is slightly different. 
I can bring it up to the Print Profiles team.

Fingers Crossed 🤞

Hey All,

 

I brought up  your issue to our process engineers.
They suggested the following work around.

 

1. Adjust your Top/Bottom Line Width to match your desired Bottom Line Width
2. Make your Top Surface Skin Layers equal to your Top Layers
3. Adjust your Top Surface Skin Line Width to match your desired Top Line Width 

This is an example of a project file how it works.
