Posted · don't need the top layer

I'm trying to print a model that doesn't need to be pretty and is hidden and just needed for compression. Is there a way in Cura to not print the top? Have no problem with just the infill and bottom.

    Yep! Just go to the print settings at the top right, and set Top/Bottom > Top Layers to 0:

    And here we are: no top!

    But: you'll notice it's removed the top layers from all of the model, not just the very top layer.

     

    If you're cool with that or it doesn't apply to your model, then we're done!

    If it's got middle bits like this model which should have top layers and you only want to remove the very top, then just reply and I'll show you how to do that (longer tutorial, don't want to write it up if I don't have to)
