1.3 Quick Print Settings
After setting up Cura for the first time, you will be shown the main interface
screen.
Selecting a Quick Print Profile
The print quality settings can be found in the top left-hand corner of the
window. For most filaments, there will be High Quality, Normal Quality, or
Fast Quality options. Some of the more exotic filaments may only have a
Normal Quality profile.
High Quality
Designed to give greater detail and finer objects. This will have a smaller
layer height, which will make each layer thinner, so that curves seem more
natural and walls seem less noticeable. This setting will also require more
layers to be laid down, increasing overall print time.
Medium Quality
Designed to give a medium resolution, by increasing the layer height and
print speeds. This will make the organic curves slightly more step-like than
the fine setting, but will reduce printing time.
