Print Resolution
0 .070
•
Great mode for parts requiring smooth surfaces
•
Layer lines are not very visible in these parts
•
Good mode for artistic parts with a smooth flow
•
Not the best mode for fine detail
0 .200
•
Best mode for general printing and most compatible mode for a wide range of geometries
•
Fine detail preservation for things like steeples, spires, sharp points, or thin walls
0 .300
•
A fast mode with thicker layers
•
Good for large parts with minimal detail
Print Strength
Hollow
•
Fastest mode to produce a part
•
Hollow has fewer outer surfaces and larger print pattern spacing
•
Best for parts that will not be stressed
Strong
•
Medium amount of outer surfaces and smaller print pattern spacing
•
Best for parts that will have minimal physical abuse
Almost Solid •
The most surfaces and the tightest print pattern spacing
•
The most robust part
•
Best for parts that will be stressed
Print Pattern
Lines
•
Fastest print fill pattern
•
Minimal cross bracing
Diamonds
•
Strong print pattern with 2-direction cross bracing
Honeycomb
•
Strong print pattern with 3-direction cross bracing
