B.
This tells the printer which extruder to use for a dual-extruder head printer, either the
left
head or the
right
head can be selected.
C.
If your sample will have any hanging surfaces, it is recommended to have support.
None
means no support.
Exterior
means surface support.
Full support
means all support.
D.
Object infill:
where
100%
is a solid print,
0%
is a hollow object. The recommended setting
is
10%
, this will save time and filament. Low infill also can reduce the corners lift up issue
during ABS printing.
E.
Layer Height:
this controls the vertical resolution of the print. The recommended thickness
is
0.20mm
.
F.
Number of shells:
this is the wall thickness; it’s usually set at
1
.
G.
Feedrate:
is the speed at which the filament is fed into the extruder. This usually set
between
30
and
70
. For
ABS printing
,
60
is recommended, for
PLA printing,
100 is
recommended.
H.
Travel feedrate:
is the speed at which the printer head moves over the base, it’s usually set
between
30
and
100
. For
ABS printing,
80
is recommended, for
PLA printing,
120
is
recommended
I.
Print Temperature:
is the temperature to which the nozzle is heated. This varies between
filament types. For ABS, set it to
220
. For PLA, set it to 200.
