starts to build support layers perpendicular to the raft layers layer.
Part - Angle:
The part Angle determines at what point solid (dense) support
material gets used. If the angle is small than the printer will add
solid fill layers under the part surface. The thickness of this
solid (dense) support is determined by the “dense” parameter
under the Support options as described below.
Part - Surface:
This parameter determines how many layers form the bottom face of a part when it is not solid.

This parameter determines how many layers form the bottom face of a part when it is not solid.
For example, if you set it to 3, the machine will print 3 complete layers before going into

are all the same thickness (approximately 1.5mm) irrespective of the fill mode.

One of the keys to successful printing on the UP is platform preheating. Particularly with large
parts, there is a tendency for the edges of the part to lift up from the platform.
