has
been
gained
to
feel
comfortable
with
all
aspects
of
the

and
its
operation.
The

Loading
a
Profile
When
you
first
switch
to
Full
Settings,
Cura
will
revert
to
very
generic
settings.
We
recommend
using
our
tested
profiles
that
are
available
on the
SD
card.
You
will
want
to
choose
the
profile
that
matches
your
filament
and
quality
needs.
Once
downloaded,
you
can
load
the
file
into
Cura
by
selecting
File＞Open
Profile.
Choose
your
desired
profile.
This
will
automatically
update
all
of
your
settings
for
use
with
your
printer.

Layer
Height
The
thickness
of
each
printed
layer
is
known
as
the
"L
ayer
Height
".
The
smaller
the
layer
height,
the
smoother
curves
will
appear.
Larger
layer
heights
are
better
for
bridging
and
overhangs.
Smaller
layer
heights
will
also
increase
time,
as
it
will
take
more
layers
to
complete
the
object.
