There are 2 materials I’ve realised I’d like to use but they’re not included in your current library.
Brass
Lead.
Hoping they can be added at some point in the future. It just feels wrong using gold 🙂

I know I can preview it in the 3d printer slicer but to quickly visualize the layer lines and loop lines based on nozzle size for layer and height could be useful.
Thought could be possible after trying the carbon fiber material.

You can do that in Cadmio, there is a dedicated material for this, it does exactly what you are looking for.

CUSTOM materials…
I’d like to be able to upload custom PBR materials such as:
[https://www.poliigon.com/textures/free](https://www.poliigon.com/textures/free)
I’m sure there are a lot of Unity, UE5 and Adobe Substance users here who could take full advantage of custom material functionality.
