Hello, 
do you have any experience with fuzzy skin in craftware slicer?
Now I discovered this function in other slicers and in craftware.. But I can't set it in craftware.. 
Could you give me tips and tricks how to set it up in craftware?
.cwp would be best so I can look at it.
Thank you for your advices.

Hi,

In CraftWare Pro you can assign postprocessors to any area type.

To achieve the fuzzy skin: You can add a "fuzzy area processor" as a postprocessor for the "perimeter".

This will give a nice noisy surface.

The most important parameters for you:

Value scale: the strength of the noise aka the fuzziness.
Resampling resolution: the frequency of the fuzziness. A lower value will result in a finer granulated surface. A higher value creates a rougher surface.
Function value offset: by default, the noise transforms the segments in the outward direction. As the noise has a 50% average value, the perimeter most likely will peel from the loops if you don't compensate for the offset. But if you choose a too high value, some parts of the perimeter will be printed on the loops. -0.2..-0.5 mm is typically good, but check the GCode viewer to confirm if it's good enough. You have to tune it according to the previous two parameters.

Hope it helps!

Happy Printing!
