Support Borders
Support borders (A) reinforce supports (B) for overhanging parts and should not be used for holes and
cavities (C).
Draw Fine Features
Select the enable checkbox when printing small parts with fine features. For larger parts needing more
accuracy, this feature should not be enabled.
Sidewalk Options
A sidewalk is a mesh boundary that prints around the outside diameter of the part. Its main purpose is to
reduce the tendency of warping especially when printing flat parts with ABS material. They are not
recommended for parts that have fine details. Sidewalks are designed to easily break away from the part
once it has been removed from the print pad.
NOTE: A sidewalk will not print under a part and will not fill holes or cavities within
the border of the part.
Sidewalk Distance Set the distance the sidewalk extends beyond the border of the part.
Sidewalk Layers Set the number of layers that will be printed.
Sidewalk Offset Set the distance between the part and the sidewalk.
Sidewalk Perforation Enabling this option will create a perforated intersecting line at the border of the part for easier removal.
