Thin Wall Optimization Formula
I've got a design with some thin walls, I want to optimize for printing on my MK3S. In Prusa Slicer there is a note (highlighted in the attached image) showing the recommended widths for a specific number of lines. It is not linear. e.g. 2 lines works out to 0.43/line, but 6 lines comes out to 0.415/line.
Anyone know what the actual formula is?

I found it. Also found if you check "detect thin walls" it give more values than the multiples of 2.
Formula for posterity is:
wall=number_of_perimeters * extrusion_width - layer_height * (1 - PI/4) * (number_of_perimeters - 1)
