[Plugin] Slicer5

I'm having an issue with the plugin and trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
The first two and last two slices always seem to have a smaller gap than the rest, sometimes they'll even overlap. Is there a way around this?

[TIG]

If you object's overall size is not an exact multiple of the spacing & thickness [allowing for the last-most slice/gap], then this will occur.
It looks like the start/end gaps are 1/2 a gap ?

Also choosing to centralize the slice can exacerbate this result - try centralizing the gap ?
You can also tweak the start/end insets to adjust the sliced result.

Supplying the model would help us see what's what...

@TIG Ah, the multiples will be the issue then, I was just throwing random shapes and spacings and seeing what came out.

Thanks for the help!

Will this take slices along a curve, perpendicular to the path? I.e., take cross-sections along a snake.

Can you take slices along a curved path, perpendicular to the path, for a given increment? I want to model a snake.

@Chelmite no. It makes parallel slices.

For your snake you could create a plane component and use Copy Along Path to do what you are looking for.
