When having a part with multipe wall loops, the top and bottom layer doesnt match even though you use the same settings for surface patterns. The bottom layer has the wall loops included in the surface pattern, but the top layer only has one wall loop included in the surface. The top surface therefore looks much cleaner. This is probably a bug, but you should be able to select “include wall loops in bottom surface”, and “include wall loops in top surface”. In some parts you might want to include the wall loops, and others you dont. Should be an easy fix.
You should also be able to set the orientation / direction of the different top / bottom surfaces (monotonic, etc) just like on the infill.
Yes, ive seen this, but why isnt it available for both top and bottom surface. Same need for the feature on the bottom, especially if you make a symmetric part.
I’m going to breath some life into this thread. It is 3 years later and this is still a problem and as far as I’m concerned, it is a bug. (Orca had the same behavior) I’ve tried a bunch of things but am curious what modifier at layer two+ will make it happen. I’ve tried modifiers etc. but no luck. Other slicers I’ve used in the past (probably half-a-dozen) always have top and bottom symmetry. Now, on larger parts, it is just an annoyance in that they look different but with small parts, it is a complete show stopper. A bottom that is has supports turns into a bunch of strings hanging out. (tried to upload an image but the forum doesn’t allow images or links).
I’ve got a ticket in to support to see what they have to say about it.
I very much appreciate the info but, in my case, that didn’t work. At a fairly small size, this is what you get (supports hidden but even if you slice with no supports, nothing changes).
<<Can’t Upload Image>>
Now, if I enlarge it by 50% I start to get better shelling, but it is not the same (your settings applied).
<<Can’t Upload Image>>
Damn, I tried to upload images but no love. I get a “can’t upload media” hand slap when I tried. How did you do it?
The software has changed greatly since this thread was created [3 yrs ago]
I’m not sure your problem is related to this one. Bottom surface by definition cannot be on a support because a surface over a support is a bridge/overhangwall. Link the pic on imgur or any other such site if you cant get it working on the forum directly
I think the difference is that this is floating and requires supports.
I can’t for the life of me get a decent surface that will allow support removal. I can’t get PVA to work at all. I have some break-away support filament coming to see if I can get a cleaner bottom. The smaller print winds up drooping those circular patters as strings that. get pulled to the inside and it looks awful.
It may be that at a .4mm nozzle there isn’t enough space, but I’ve tried 3 other slicers which work it perfectly but won’t talk to the proprietary Bambu printer. Seeing how the Bambu treats the top surface perfectly, I’m uncertain the engineering benefit to treating the bottom differently.
In this rare case, my $500 Creality Ender 5 Pro using Simplify3D or any other slicer that talks to it would get a better off-the-bed product than the $2K H2D. Frustrating.
