Layer Configured Real Notes height Diameter Diameter 0.25 0.4 0.55 Will be used when you specify 160% as perimeter width (it's 160% of layer height) 0.25 0.5 0.60 The Slic3r default (equal to nozzle diameter), taken when you specify 0 0.25 0.75 0.75 0.25 1.0 1.00 0.5 0.5 0.65 0.5 1.0 1.00

One of the things you are supposed to do as part of the more advanced calibration process is to make a single shell print exactly as you did, measure the wall thickness and adjust the extrusion multiplier so that the wall thickness is the same as the setting.
So if you were printing with the default of 0.5mm and your test result was as you have shown (0.6mm, exactly the same as my test result), you should set the extrusion multiplier in Slic3r to .833 Re-slicing will then result in a print with the correct wall thickness.

These results show that you should set a correct perimeter width before you tamper with the extrusion multiplier. Reducing the extrusion multiplier before having all other settings correct will simply not extrude enough which will have consequences many other areas. This is especially true because the default perimeter width of Slic3r seems to be incorrect.

Why do you believe that a perimeter width of 0.5mm is incorrect?

@Flyskyhy: short question Did you do a test with a closed topsurface and if so, how did it look? I ask since my test showed gaps in the surface. Unable to continue my own testing, therefor I ask.
thanks

hi,
one question.
why dont use skeinforge?
skeinforge has the strech plugin.
