PRESETS
Now that we have covered all of the slice settings and their default values, let’s discuss how you can set
up a preset Slice build out for quick printing.
First pull down the dropdown list under “Quality” (5.3a/b). Notice that there are
3 preloaded profiles. Select medium and click the print tab. You should be able
to see within some of the setting lists, that preset has affected your slice build
out. The settings that were changed by the preset are highlighted in yellow.
Only the “Print” settings can be affected by the Quality preset.
