Hello !

Why crowning algorythm used dashed lines ?
May be it from calculates volume for filling area ?
If it based on volume then better use straight lines with dynamic extrusion width, not dashed !
My printer have 0.3 mm nozzle and i may print with 0.2 - 0.8 mm extrusion width, without any problems.

But now Kisslicer make dashed lines and prints no good, and walls is no flat.

See pictures and stl file:

Yes please. The crowning behaviour has always bugged me a bit in KS. Not only does it look bad it also wastes a lot of time on retractions. If you have a wall that tapers from fat to thin towards the top then the last couple of layers can easily become quite a mess of blobs.

"Then you should adjust your model" I hear you say. Sure, but sometimes it's very difficult to control the width of the last layer so that it matches what KS wants to do perfectly. This is especially true on curved parts.
