Question Extrusion width is also distance between travelpath ?

[Gatze 0]

I'm trying to calibrate my printer by printing a testcube and print walls with  2 or 4 lines and measure the walls.

 

I print with a 0.6 nozzle and 0.75 line width

 

To be short my question is: if I have a wall with 2 line counts, is my wall then 1.5 mm ?

 

I ask this because in Prusaslicer this is not the case because of some overlap to fill the rounded sides:

Does Cura do this in the same way is ?

 

Thanks in advance!

Cura uses a rectangle that measures Line Width x Layer Height rather than an oval and so the line width is the index distance between adjacent paths on a skin.  It is a different philosophy.  Either way works.

 

My personal opinion is that once you have calibrated the E-Steps on your printer and entered the exact diameter of the filament you are using, that you are all done.
