Testing the B9Creator slicer

thingiverse

The B9C slicer works very well (I verified version 1.4). B9C slicer is great in that it can deal with millions of faces and also with intersecting faces. In the attached files and photos, I was testing the following scenario: features with very small differences in height. This STL is for testing at 50.8 micron layers. It contains: a set of cylinders, the first being 5.06 mm tall, a set of pentagonal extrusions, the first being 5.06+0.025 mm tall, a set of hexagonal extrusions, the first being 5.06+0.040 mm tall. Within each set, each subsequent extrusion is 50.8 micron taller than the precedent, so its "roof" feature should be located in each subsequent layer after slicing. The slicer works as expected: inside the B9J files, one can see just the expected case described above. If you wish to see this effect with your eyes (rather than in the B9C software or with a caliper), you can print the "_printable" version of the STL. Its base is 5 mm tall. Instructions To test the slicer, you do not need to print: simply open a B9J file in "Main Menu"/"Edit", and look at the last layers to be printed. The settings for the print are: 50.8 micron z, 50 micron xy.
