How can I change the thickness of the outer wall of an object?
For example when I try to change the Outer wall of one of these containers I get a flat slicing:
Do I understand correctly that in this case it’s not the Outer wall value that needs to be changed but the number of Wall loops? If yes, given the object outer wall thickness is 0.8 mm, how do I calculate the right value for the Wall loops to get the outer walls of the container printed with a thickness of 1 mm?
Have the two walls collided and become one due to size restrictions , meaning the walls can only move inwards/towards each other ? if i havent misunderstood
Hey @Neiljt thanks for the quick reply! My question was over complicated so I edited it to simplify it, I hope it’s clearer now. Sorry for the confusion.

No problem 
maybe this will be better
If your nozzle is 0.4, each wall loop will be 0.4 mm thick, So you can do 2 to get 0.8mm or 3 to get 1.2mm
Changing the value of “Outer Wall” under the Quality - Line Width section would, in your case here with a value of 1mm, make the Slicer calculate the flow to attempt a single line width of 1mm which would be too much width for a 0.4mm Nozzle (Ok with a 0.8mm Nozzle, pushing it with a 0.6mm one).
Yes you need to change the number of wall loops in the strength section. Wall Width will be the Outer wall line width X number of wall loops. Note number of wall loops will also effect the inner wall thickness (Inner Wall line Width X Wall Loops)
How thick are the walls of your model? The slicer will not make the walls any thicker than the walls that are defined in the model geometry. If your model has .2mm wall thickness, the slicer will likely only give 1 wall loop. If detect thin walls is not checked, and the model has very thin walls defined I have seen the slicer not provide the walls at all just like in your image.
The model he’s trying to print seems to have 0.8mm wall thickness so normally two wall loops 0.4mm Nozzle but with the setting of 1.0mm line width shown in the screenshot that won’t slice the walls without thin wall setting as you stated.
Absolutely the model will limit the wall thickness that is going to be printed (I missed that one)
The walls of the model are 0.8 mm. I wish them to be 1 mm.
I understand the only option I have is to modify the model.
I guess printing them in vase mode with a 1 mm outer wall would also work?
I didn’t realize what you were asking before. I think Blender has a command to increase the sides of an object, but it is not the easiest program to learn.
If you don’t want to figure out how to use one of the mesh editing programs, another way to do it that might be easier is to make two copies of the container in the slicer, reduce the size of one of them and then put them together, select both, right click and select Assemble. You can then go into object mode and position the smaller box correctly so that it adds enough thickness to the bottom and side walls to get the wall thickness you want. You might have to adjust the resize amount if it isn’t exact enough.
For the containers that have a divider, you would first need to split them at the dividers and then shrink the copy of each divider section. You probably would not want to split the interior walls in half because they might be too thin to properly overlap the other object. Instead split multiple copies so you can keep the full walls of each section before resizing and positioning.
I did a test with the box with no dividers and I got it to approximately 1mm walls. I could have made it exactly 1mm, but I was just trying a proof of concept, so wasn’t worth the extra few minutes.
Vase mode requires a solid filled object and will only print one wall so if you have a 0.4mm nozzle and print a 1mm wall thickness than that could get you poor surface quality and it could also cause extruder clogs due to backpressure. Not saying it won’t do the 1mm wide line but …
