@JediJeremy @LightBurn @Rick @Colin Thank you for the detailed explanation, Jeremy. As the Xtool S1 has a motorized Z–Axis. During focus, the z-axis adjusts automatically. I do not have the Support and Material fields in my cut/layer panel. Do, I need to enable this somewhere?
Questions, you said the material thickness is embedded in the camera profile, is this the Material Height refence?
Here is a sample calibration I did for my camera. Just in case you have a question.
