Print Speed (mm/s) - This value determines the overall printing speed. If no other speeds
are specified in other areas, your printer will default to this speed. The ideal printing speed
varies with different filament types.
Printing Temperature (C) - This determines the temperature of the print nozzle. Different
filament types print at different temperatures. The proper temperatures are specified by
the filament manufacturer.
Bed Temperature (C) - This determines the temperature of the build platform during
printing. Some filament types benefit from using a heated build platform, while other types
work well with unheated build platform covered in painter's or Kapton® tape.
Support Type - If your print has angles or
overhangs, it could benefit from using support
material. We recommend orienting your model
to minimize or eliminate the need for supports.
There are two types of supports possible:
Touching Buildplate and Everywhere. The
Touching Buildplate option only creates
support for section of the model that are
above the build platform, as shown in the red
model, while the Everywhere option provides
supports for any overhanging section of the
model as shown in the green model. Click the ...
button to adjust specific values controlling the
Support structures.
Platform Adhesion Type - When only a small
surface area of your model is designed to
touch the build platform, you might experience
platform adhesion issues, which could cause
your model to come loose during printing. To
prevent this, you can use either the Brim or
Raft method to create a larger contact area.
