Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

It would be more correct to be able to define the elephant foot compensation height in mm instead of layers, since in my experience the elephant foot effect is independent of layer height. So if you print with 0.1mm layer height or 0.3mm layer height, the compensation must be applied to a different number of layers to achieve the same physical height.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All
