Parameter Definition
Retraction
Enable retraction:
Enable filament retraction function
Retract the filament when the nozzle is moving over a non- printed
area to avoid dropping and brushed. Details about the retraction can
be configured in the advanced tab.
-Retraction speed:
Speed at which the filament is retracted, a
higher retraction speed works better. Commonly used as 80mm/
s. A very high retraction speed can lead to filament grinding or
breaking.
-Distance:
Amount of retraction. Set at 0 for no retraction at all. A
value of 5 seems to generate good result.
Dual Extrusion
Wipe &prime tower:
The wipe-tower is a tower printed on every
layer when switching between nozzles.
Tower volume per layer:
The amount of material put in the wipe/
prime tower. This is done in volume because in general you want
to extruder a certain amount of volume to get the extruder going,
independent on the layer height. This means that with thinner layers,
your tower gets bigger.
Ooze shield:
The ooze shield is a line thick shell around the object
which stands a few mm from the the object and catches any oozing
from the unused nozzle in dual-extrusion.
Dual extrusion overlap:
Add a certain amount of overlapping
extrusion on dual-extrusion prints. This makes the different colors
filament jointed better. Default 0.1
Support
Support type:
For the model has parts hanging in the air, support
structure is a must when printing to ensure the parts hanging in the
air will not collapse.
-None:
No support, if you print model with parts hanging in the
air but choose structure as none, the parts hanging in the air may
droop.
-Touching Build Plate:
Most commonly used support type, means
the support will only been created when the support structure
touches the build plate.
-Everywhere:
Create support wherever there is part hanging in the
air.
Note:
Support structure may affect the smoothness of
model surface and printing speed.
If not essential, recommend to modify or split model to
reduce the use of support.
Platform adhesion type:
Different options that help in preventing
corners from lifting due to warping.
- None:
Default form of using outsider lining.
- Brim:
Adds a single layer thick flat area around your object which
is easy to cut off afterwards, and the recommended option.
- Raft:
Adds a thick raster at below the object and a thin interface
between this and your object.
Note:
Enabling the brim or raft disables the skirt.
Support dual extrusion:
Which extruder to use for support material.
For easy break-away support you can use either extruder.
You can choose main extruder(left extruder) to print main structure,
2nd extruder(right extruder) to print soluble support material.
