For what it's worth - in one or more of their previous posts, the OP has explained they are trying to do some sort of research into inter-filament bonding, and they believe they need identical layers for that purpose. I can't comment on the practicality or need of their research, other than to reiterate that typical 3D printers with typical slicing software and firmware don't print that way by default, for very good reasons!Quote

2. I fail to understand why anyone would want to have the next layer printed the same way as the first - there is a very good reason why it works that way...

Why not post the G-Code file you have - some kind soul can probably show you how to edit it manually.
It's not "rocket science" to understand the G-Code that your slicing software generates - just open it in the text editor of your choice, and see the official reference here: [reprap.org]
If you examine your G-Code file, you will see that there are only a few commonly used commands, such as the following, so it isn't too hard to manually edit or write a G-Code file to do what you are after.

So, now take a look at your G-Code file, and understand what it does:
Lines 1 to 7 are introductory comments
Lines 8 to 20 get the machine ready for printing
Line 21 moves the printhead to a z-height of 0.2 mm
Lines 22 to 266 print the first layer by shifting the x and y coordinates and extruding as you go
Line 267 shifts to a z-height of 0.4 mm
Lines 268 to 513 print the second layer
Lines 514 to 516 shut the printer down
Lines 517 to 638 are comments, describing the machine and slicer settings etc
So, in principle, delete lines 268 to 513, and replace with a copy of lines 22 to 266 - voila!
Note that your slicing software (Slic3r 1.1.7 according to Line 1) has probably set-up the first layer to be extruded “generously”, so that it can be “smooshed” as a contiguous layer into the bed-plate. You may need to tinker with the extrusion rates to get the right amount of filament laid down, to avoid over-extrusion.
Hope this helps!
