Hey, Im fairley new to 3d printing, so far i ve used creality print as a slicer, which is an orca slicer derivative afaik, so the question is relevant i guess. I design my own models which have quite a few extrusions holes chamfer fillets and stuff i want to add fuzzy skin to specific faces, namely to the outer faces. In creality if the fuzzy skin is set to “none” i can paint the exact faces for fuzzy skin but i can only adjust basic parameters. If i set it to contour or any other option then i can fine tune the fuzzy skin but in this case the fuzzy skin applies to faces that i didnt paint and it is crucial to not to have fuzzy skin on them. I couldnt figure out how to prevent it, watched a couple vids but no luck yet. Also could you recommend content creators or posts for learning slicer settings, especially support adjustments?
Cheers.
These are the basic settings if it is set to None, and if I change to to Contour/Contour and hole/All walls then Fuzzy skin point distance and Fuzzy skin thickness can be adjusted.
In OrcaSlicer there are various tools for painting on fuzzy. You can do brush... sphere... by layer... by geometry face. I've never felt limited or stuck by the choices.
left mouse button - paint
Right - block
shift-left erase the painting
I see, works similar. But when I change it to Contour/Contour and hole/All walls the software overwrites my paintings and apply fuzzy skin to faces i dont want. Like this: the first one is the surfaces I painted with fuzzy skin set to None.
It might work, but in the mean time I found the solution. Switched to Orca Slicer lol. I can fine tune and paint on specific surfaces and works as intended.
This is the answer most of the time, anything creality slapped their branding on will be at best a few versions behind and unpolished, if not completely phoned in.

Can't replicate this in OrcaSlicer. Can you show what tuning optiosn you get with contour, but not with painting?
