Loops
: how many loops to print around the object before printing itself. This allows to get an even flow of
filament. Usually 1 to 3 is enough;
Distance from object
: how far should these loops be printed. 5-6 mm is usually optimal;
Skirt height
: loop height in layers. One layer is OK most of the time;
Minimum extrusion length
: print so many layers to extrude the specified minimum of filament in
millimeters;
Brim width
: addition of filament on the first layer around each printable 3D object to get a better grip. 3-5
mm usually is enough when needed.
Generate support material
: enable or disable generation of support material usually for objects with
relatively large overhangs and outward slopes which are at more than 45 degree angle/ as calculated by
the program/ or specified by the next setting;
Overhang threshold
: 0 for automatic calculation. Set 45 for optimal manual value.
Enforce support for the first
: number of layers from bottom to be extra-enforced (regardless of the
settings above). Good for smaller objects which are standing on one small leg or similar – to get better
adhesion to the printing surface;
Raft layers
: “push” the printable object upwards by generating specified amount of raft layers;
Pattern
: pattern of choice for raft and support materials;
Pattern spacing
: use lower value to get better support for flat surfaces;
