Thin walls, too thick?
I have a thin wall (its 0.5 mm, which I assume gets reduced to my nozzle size of 0.4 mm, and PrusaSlicer only shows one perimeter). When I print the part however, the wall is printed...too fat. Its roughly 6-8 mm thick.
This is a top view of the wall (its the thin part on the left)
This is a side view. Note that the wall extends about 8 layers above the base, you can see where the wall starts (about 8 layers from the left). Its extra thick here.
I tried reducing the print temperature by 10 degrees, but that didn't help. My thinking was that the layers were too small for proper cooling so each layer was squishing the previous "not quite cooled" layer causing it to spread out.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any ideas about how I could fix it?
RE: Thin walls, too thick?
I made an example model that demonstrates the issue and attached it to this post.
Interestingly enough if I change the perimeter extrusion width I can manipulate it to not overhang, but I can never get the dimensional accuracy anywhere close.

I don't see anything attached. You need to zip up data files and attach the zip file.

Sorry, not sure why it didn't upload before, I attached file, here it is zipped.
