Platform
Adhesion
Type
Some
models
have
a
small
surface
area
contacting
the
plate.
This
can
create
adhesion
issues
causing
your
part
to
pop
off
at
some
point
during
the
print.
To
fix
this,
use
either
Brim
or
Raft.
Raft
is
better
used
when
a
model
has
small
heated
bed
contact
points
and
overhangs.
Brim
Brim
will
created
a
single
layer
of
filament,
contracting
and
surrounding
your
model.
This
will
increase
the
surface
area
of
the
part
contacting
the
build
platform
thereby
preventing
it
from
popping
off
the
heated
bed.
Brim
will
also
help
in
situations
where
you
are
seeing
corner
lift.
Brim
settings
can
be
adjusted
in
the
Expert
Settings
options.
Raft
Raft
will
generate
a
layer
of
material
underneath
your
object.
Raft
was
more
often
used
before
the
addition
of
heated
plates
to
increase
surface
area.
Raft
settings
can
be
adjusted
in
the
Expert
Settings
options.
Filament
Diameter
The
filament
diameter
setting
is
one
of
the
more
important
settings.
Make
sure
that
you
update
this
value
periodically
with
your
average
filament
diameter.
While
your
filament
may
be
referred
to
as
3mm,
it
is
more
likely
