logic behind extrusion widths? about ellis-superslicer-profiles HOT 3 CLOSED

The PIF profile only has 100% external perims because it's a requirement for Voron parts - I don't actually like 100% widths, and took the opportunity to fix it in my decorative profiles.

The internal PIF widths are wider to make up for strength. The 100% externals' poor stepover does generally work fine for Voron parts, as they avoid steep overhangs in the designs.

As for the decorative profiles' 115% widths:

• Partially in case someone is using variable layer heights and exceeds 50% layer heights
• For better stepover for overhangs.
• Some people have really pointy nozzles though, so going past 115% has caused some complaints. And taking it too far can affect surface finish, as you say.
• A middleground. Such are the woes of trying to create a "universal" profile - pretty much impossible. I change a lot of these settings print-to-print, but that's just something people have to learn through experience, really.

Thanks.

Voron's 1x logic seems to be lost in the mists of time. Odd.

In the meantime, thanks for the excellent - and thought-provoking - profiles!
