In my application, I can live with stair-steps on the outside profile, but the inside profile needs to be smooth. (Although it is a brilliant illustration of how calculus works!). but very quickly the cut list gets ridiculous. I can more closely approximate the profile of the cone by making the construction material thinner. Or to put it another way, to properly track the profile of the cone, the diameter of the ring must be smaller at the Z0 position than at the Z+ position. Slicer can't do that - it's cross-sections are always rectangles. By which I mean, slices of a cone along the Z axis are "rings" (which Slicer did right) but the cross-sections (X or Y) are trapezoids. So the first disappointment was that the slices cannot internally track the profile of the object within the slice. The orientation of the slices was initially on the Y axis instead of the Z, but that was reasonably easy to figure out and change.
The small end is on the bottom (Z0) and the big end on the top (Z+) The model is a loft between two sketches, so it is a true cone. I have a CNC router, but the Z travel is only 2", so the idea was to build it out of stacked & glued plywood rather than hogging it out of a single chunk of wood. Basically it is a cone with an 83mm ID on one end, a 5.8" ID on the other end, 6" between ends, and a.
I have a project that is a fan shroud/support that hangs off the back of an electric motor. In models of low or medium complexity, you can use the 3d model on screen to guide the right connections. Slicer was initially thought for plywood, acrylic and cardboard in low to medium complexity models. The material may be too thin or there are too many slices. There's a button on the store that leads to the other version you are looking for, The active state is not very clear. You can still do all the work offline and save locally.
