What is happening when you set a Paint Penetration Layer.
The term Paint is used in: Support Painting; Seam Painting; Color Painting.
I have used Support Painting and Color Painting but I don’t really understand what this is doing for me in the Strength setting in Studio.
There are default penetration layers in both top and bottom.
Does that mean it is going to “Paint” the top and bottom finish layers of a print at the number of layers set?
In Studio it has a default of 3 layers for the Bottom Paint Penetration Layer value.
is that the number of layers that will be extruded in the Bottom Surface Pattern I choose? Seems like that could conflict with the Shell Thickness?
Asked and answered.
It does mean the number of layers any painting will “soak” into.
If you do not paint, it doesn’t matter.
I agree that placing it into the strength tab is strange, it appears out of place and certainly out of context.
The tooltip help offers a rewording of the caption, the definition of unhelpful.
It’s probably under strength because if you have poor layer adhesion, something like letters on a sign could fall off. The number of shell layers, right next to this setting, is also going to affect it so it’s logical. I agree that the tooltip could be improved.
Has anyone gotten this to work yet?
I’ve attempted this multiple times and increased the paint penetration layers to >100 sometimes and in the actual layer breakdown, it still prints the same amount of layers. This feature doesn’t seem to be working.
