Any other layer height might need a different/larger gap to avoid making a hole during slicing. The 0.02mm gap worked with 0.1mm layer height setting. That way the top surface prints as one uninterrupted flat area, then adds the letters on top starting on the next layer. First load the cube with notch, and then load/insert a modifier to get something like the following (grey is the box with notch, green cube is the modifier): Now change the options (click on modifier and left-click to select Layers and Perimeters option item) of the modifier (select zero top and bottom layers): Note that this solution will give. 02mm enough so that the slicer doesn't create a hole at their base. Or you can download the 3D model that someone else created.
#3D PRINTER SLICER SETTINGS FOR TOP LAYERS SOFTWARE#
Slicers do not generally create the 3D model, for that, you need a separate piece of software for CAD or 3D design. I separated the letters from the top layer (in the model) by. comChuck gives you a few Cura Slicer tricks to hide gaps in the top of you 3D Prints. Slicers are a very special piece of software that turns a 3D model into instructions that a 3D printer can follow to make a 3D print. Layer Height Setting 0.35mm (350 microns) - for really fast rapid prototyping where resolution is perhaps not incredibly necessary 0.20mm (200 microns). The big difference that fixed the patchwork didn't happen from settings though. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) One of the fastest ways to create a multicolor 3D print from a single extruder machine is to use the Pause and Swap.

Apart from the suggested z-hop, I also enabled "Retract at layer change" and I don't know which of these or both helped but those layer change lines disappeared.
