Is there a slicer that let’s you configure sections of the model to print at a different layer height?

I often have some larger models I’m printing, and 0.3mm layers are just fine for this to speed things up, but some of the overhangs print very poorly with thick layers and require thinner layers to print well.

        What you’re looking for is adaptive layer height.

        Here’s a video somebody posted that shows where you can find it

        Adaptive Layer Height - Orca Slicer

        Basically this adjusts the layer height to be smaller when smaller details are needed.

        For example when doing a dome on a cylinder the main cylinder body will have larger layer heights but when it needs to start curving inward it will use smaller layer heights so the “steps” aren’t as pronounced.
