Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

You cannot print a thick base and use Spiral vase mode because Top shell layers is forced to 0.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Set a start layer for Spiral Vase mode so that we can have Top shell layer active below a certain layer. This allows the user to make a vase with a thicker base for stability. Below the "start layer" the print is sliced normally, after the start layer the print is sliced for spiral vase mode.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

This cutaway shows the part with the thicker base. As you can see a top shell is needed at the bottom to make the thicker base, but none is needed above that area.
