A screenshot of the Air Gap setting as seen in MatterControl's SETTINGS pane.

Function

The number of layers, or the distance, to skip between the support (including interface layers) and the model. Add mm to the end of the number to specify distance.

Parameters

  • layer count (layers)
  • millimeters (mm)

Can be zero.

Example(s)

For these examples, Support_test.stl is the model used.

layers

In this example, the distance between the top of the support material and the bottom of the model is three layers (which for this model the layer height is 0.2 mm), so 0.6 mm total.

mm

In this example, the distance between the top of the support material and the bottom of the model is 0.2 mm.
