  • $\begingroup$ How exactly does the specified layer height effect this print when this is turned on, do you know? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 8, 2023 at 20:37
  • $\begingroup$ @user1833028 Can you explain further this question? Are you asking about the durability, the appearance of the print? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 8, 2023 at 20:41

    $\begingroup$ From the linked site provided by kosteklvp: "Cura’s adaptive layers feature analyzes the slope and angle of the outer wall of the model. The slicing engine will then optimize the layer height for each section. Curves are printed with a finer layer resolution, while vertical, flat areas are printed with thicker layers, often reducing the print duration." This means that when there is a greater slope to a surface, the layer thickness will be adjusted to make layer lines less obtrusive. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 8, 2023 at 23:44
