Operations
The default 'Activate Clip' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.
Settings
Clip Over Perimeter Width
Default: 0.2
Defines the ratio of the amount each end of the loop is clipped over the perimeter width. The total gap will therefore be twice the clip. If the ratio is too high loops will have a gap, if the ratio is too low there will be a bulge at the loop ends.
This setting will affect the output of clip, and the output of the skin. In skin the half width perimeters will be clipped by according to this setting.
 Clip Over Perimeter Width = 0.01 |
 Clip Over Perimeter Width = 1 |
 Clip Over Perimeter Width = 0.01 zoomed |
 Clip Over Perimeter Width = 1 zoomed] |
As one can see in the pictures, there is a visible gap when clip is set too large
Maximum Connection Distance Over Perimeter Width
Default: 10
Defines the ratio of the maximum connection distance between loops over the perimeter width.
Clip will attempt to connect loops that end close to each other, combining them into a spiral, so that the extruder does not stop and restart. This setting sets the maximum gap size to connect. This feature can reduce the amount of extra material or gaps formed at the loop end.
Setting this to zero disables this feature, preventing the loops from being connected.
 Maximum Connection Distance Over Perimeter Width = 0 |
 Maximum Connection Distance Over Perimeter Width = 10 |
