Function
The distance to skip between the support (including interface layers) and the model. For PLA and ABS a value between 0.1 and 0.3 generally works well.
In MatterControl 1.5, Z Gap was changed to Air Gap. Z Gap only worked in increments of the layer height. Air Gap can be any distance.
Parameters
- millimeters (mm)
Can be zero.
Example(s)
For this example, Support_test.stl is the model used.
mm
In this example, the distance between the top of the support material and the bottom of the model is 0.2 mm.
