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.
layers
In this example, the distance between the top of the support material and the bottom of the model is 3 layers
