    hi guys,

    i have an issue that i experienced twice so far, when i try to print an object, say a cylinder, the printer wont print the very upper layer of the model, the roof of the model or the surface of it.... the model will be naked when you look at it from above and u will be able to see the infill material inside even though the 3d model is totally locked, what causes this ? is there a setting i can change to fix this ?

    thanks

    Add more top layers. Some slicers have this as a single setting for both top and bottom layers.
    You probably want at least 1mm (at the default 0.2 layer height that is 5 or 6 layers)

    Not many of us if any use matter control anymore. Matterhackers wrote it and has a forum that probably has that answer.
