support layers perpendicular to the raft layers layer.
The default value for this parameter is set to 2mm.
Nozzle
: represents the distance between nozzle and the print platform when it is at the
bottom position. It is essential that this value be correctly set for good printing. See
section 3.3.2. for instructions on calibrating your printer.

Disabled
Fill:
There are four ways to fill the interior of the parts, including Solid, Loose,
Hollow, and Big Hole.
Solid
The Part is made of solid plastic, which gives you the strongest part. This
setting is recommended for functional engineering parts.
Semi
Solid
The part has an outer wall thickness of solid plastic (about 1.5mm), but
its interior is filled with a reasonably small scaffold structure
Semi
Hollow
The part has an outer wall thickness of solid plastic (about 1.5mm), but
its interior is filled with a medium spaced scaffold structure
Hollow
The part has an outer wall thickness of solid plastic (about 1.5mm), but
its interior is filled with a large spaced scaffold structure
Surface:
This parameter determines how many layers form the bottom face of a part
when it is not solid. For example, if you set it to 3, the machine will print 3 complete
layers before going into non-solid mode. This does not, however, affect the side wall
thickness on non-solid parts, which are all the same thickness (approximately 1.5mm)
irrespective of the fill mode.
Angle:
The part Angle determines at what point solid (dense) support material gets
