Base-Plate Thickness

Base plate thickness controls the foundation below the colour layers. The default is 1.20 mm.

This screenshot shows an earlier interface; the setting is now named “Base plate thickness”.

The UI range is 0.24–10.00 mm in 0.08 mm steps; the generation schema accepts the safety range 0.20–10.00 mm. The UI step keeps the base aligned with a commonly used print-layer height.

Base thickness does not include colour layers, relief height, or a transparent coating. Add those parts separately when estimating the finished height.

Relief mode clamps its extra height against the minimum required by the current base and material layers. Fridge Magnet mode may also increase the effective spacer thickness to preserve wall thickness around a magnet pocket; disabling the feature restores the saved base thickness.

Choose the value for the output size, attached features, material, and slicer result. Changing it invalidates the existing 3MF.

Thickness also affects whether Base Plate Infill produces sparse infill: the region near each viewing surface stays solid.
