• Infill - As the infill is hidden this can be extruded a little faster.
Take care though not to go too fast as higher speeds results in thinner
extrusions, and this may affect how the extrusions bond.
• Travel - The jump between the end of one extrusion and the next
should usually be performed as quickly as the printer will allow in
order to minimise any mess caused by material oozing from the nozzle.
Brim.
Brim width
is used to add more perimeters to the first layer, as a
base flange, in order to provide more surface area for the print to stick to
the bed with in order to reduce warping (see §2.3). The brim is then cut
away once the print is finished and removed from the bed.

Sequential Printing. This feature allows to compose a plate of objects but
have the printer complete each one individually before going back to Z
= 0 and starting with the next one. See the subsection about Sequential
Printing in the Advanced Topics chapter.
Filament Settings
The
Filament Settings
will normally be used infrequently, for example
on receipt of a new roll of filament.
