  There is not currently a way to do this but if it is significantly valuable in general printing we would be happy to add it as a feature.

  If you have an object with that texture on it, you could make a very thin slice of it, line it up on your part, and either do a combine or subtract on it to add the texture where you want it.

  @larsbrubaker If you can make multiple layers on the skirt as well, then you can make a wall up around the outside of the part. Other slicers also do this. This makes a higher heated air barrier around the outside of the part and also keeps parts from air drafts and warping.

  @joea If you are going to use Linux to run MatterControl, use Linux Mint 20.2 Edge edition. I have used this to run MatterControl successfully.

  Can you see the error in the GCode preview? If there is a line segment that is not in the direction that you expect that would be a bug in the model or possibly how it is slicing. But if there is nothing in the gcode view that is showing this error it is in the settings (probably speed).

  @javilen MatterControl in Ubuntu is finicky with display drivers. Especially with Nvidia drivers.

  You can make holes by subtracting the geometry added, round holes or other shapes.

  Here you can see current single layer skirt attached to the printed part. Notice that due to warping, the part has broken the skirt adhesion layer. This is why multiple skirt layers are needed.

  @dutchman
  Ok it appears to be two things going on.
  For item 1) it is a corrupted complex object. MatterHackers tech support says it is due to a mesh defect. Not sure how that came about as the object was created using add and subtract parts of MC.

  For item, 2) Apparently I was not waiting long enough for the subtract to complete.
  The hourglass and progress bar for Subtract is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY TOO teeny!
  Thanks to Tech support for spotting and point the progress bar issue out but MatterHackers should make it bigger. Seriously.

  I do have to say, this machine has not been a smooth experience for me. I expect this kind of setup and tweaking for a machine that came out of a kickstarter, not one that is sold as an engineering unit.

  Connecting to a laptop got these 2 errors to come up (sorry, had to re-size them)

  
  

  Hook it up to another machine, and these were the first 2 fun messages. After that, only took 2 tries to get an unsatisfying benchy. This was on standard mode, not fast. Looks horrible for an hour-20. (albeit I was using the leftovers of a roll of Raise3d Premium PLA that was vacuum stored)

  Twist - Merge Issue

  The Combine and Subtract operations are very sensitive to geometry being manifold or water tight. The Twist operation often produces non-manifold geometry that can be a problem for these functions. We are working on a new method to do object merging that should address these issues. This new method will also work on Mac and Linux where the current method does not.

  We currently expect this to be release in mid August.

  @tinken Ok, thank you. As I said I use CUDA for work, which I mostly do on my Mint build so i cannot avoid using Nvidia Linux drivers. I suppose I will have to live with only using MatterControl on windows.
