Slic3r

however the skirt function can also be used to build walls around
the object in case it should be protected from drafts.

•

Minimum extrusion length

- Dictates a minimum number of mil-

limeters that the skirt should be, should the loop around the object
not be enough.

Cooling

Temperature plays a key part in determining print quality. Too hot and
the material deforms, too cool and layer adhesion may be problematic.
Applying cooling will allow the freshly deposited material to solidify enough
to provide a good base for the next layer, helping with overhangs, small
details and bridges.

There are two main techniques for cooling: adding a fan and slowing

down the print speed. Slic3r may choose to use both techniques, using a
fan first, and then slowing down the print if the layer time is too fast.
