@Simplify3D and a tricky print (hole very near the edge). V3 on the left, V4 with “Allow single extrusion walls” on the right. Note the way the single perimeter is actually shaped around the hole (waisted in the middle). Nice one!
That explains a recent print where the model showed a small vertical void and the print resulted in a much larger gap. Had I installed v4 and turned on that feature, the hole would have been smaller perhaps.
Waisted, having a waist of a specified kind (usually used in combination): long-waisted; high-waisted. 2. (of an object, a container, etc.) shaped like a waist; having concave sides: a waisted vase,

I’ll have to double check my single extrusion wall settings forthwith.
and a wizard to assist the process creation as well. Not that it was too difficult, though. I would have liked to see an option for “start print at” and “stop print at” with a choice between distance and layer number.
Guys, check out kisslicer, it’s got this feature for years, and the new 1.6 witch is still in beta is just mind blowing. Nothing really comes close. Does everything auto, from layer hight to extr. with for overhangs. Mildly said, light years ahead of everything other. Give it a try, you won’t regret it
