It would be awesome to have the ability to print at different resolutions by section of layers in the model.&nbsp; For example, I would love to specify layers 1-800 to be at .1 resolution, and then layers 800-1200 at .05.&nbsp;&nbsp; (i know # of layers changes depending on the resolution, so maybe you slide the layer slicer and tag the resolution using that)

My reasoning is that sometimes I have pieces that are large, that for the most part could be printed at the low/fast resolution, that also contain a section of higher detail.&nbsp; A character would be a good example, the body doesn’t always need as much resolution, but around the face and eyes would be good to have.&nbsp; This could keep print times lower, while giving detail where needed.
