]]>Nevermind, I figured it out. I've been loading the STL file via repetier rather than in slicer itself
?? you can load the GCODE in repetier... but you need to open the STL in slic3r to made a different layer height in the same gcode

New version does indeed have raft.
Awesome!

New version does indeed have raft.
]]>do you update slic3r thru the update menu of repetier-host ? if not, do it this way.

there is a "check for update" in the menu of repetier-host... it will update repetier-host AND slic3er... what a beautiful world ?
]]>open Slic3r, then drag an object on the 'plater' screen. then you can double click on the object name.
a new window will open, where there is a new tab named 'Layers'
in this screen you can set a min Z, max Z and a layer height like this example :
0 2 0.3
2 8 0.2
8 10 0.3
from the base (0) to 2 mm, use a layer height of 0.3 , then from 2mm to 8mm use 0.2 layer then.. etc etc
like on this picture
you can clearly see the layer height change ... it's great !
for example of my huntress bust, you can print the base with a layer of 0.3, then switch to a 0.2mm layer for more details to the end... time gain !!
i love this function... with a clever construction of a model, you can win a lot of time without too much details loss...
you can use it also to make a textured flat surface (you can draw 'line' ....)
the only problem : you need to open slic3r by hand... you can not use this function from within repetier-host
