Material

The visible material properties that Cura uses as defaults are pretty self-explanatory, but

there are a couple you may want to enable in order to get better results.

Retraction Distance

will allow you to set how much filament is pulled back from the

nozzle when a retract occurs. Retracting too much can cause jams if the retracts happen
frequently on the same layer. For hot ends like the HE280 and SE300, a good retraction
distance is 3.2mm

Retraction Speed

sets the rate at which the filament is retracted. If this rate is too fast,

you run the risk of jamming the hot end during frequent retract cycles. A good speed for HE280
and SE300 hot ends is around 45mm/sec.

Speed

Initial Layer Speed

will allow you to specify a slower speed for the initial layers of your

print. This can greatly improve your first layer quality and its ability to adhere to the bed.
25Mm/sec is a good value for this setting.

Maximum Z Speed

can be set to 500mm/sec for Duet-equipped printers or 200mm/sec

for RAMBo equipped printers. A fast Z speed will help control stringing and blobbing.

Travel

The

Travel

category may not be currently visible in the

Print Settings

pane, but you can

reach it by clicking on

Settings

, then click on

Configure Setting Visibility

.

Z Hop When Retracted

is an important setting as the slicing engine is going to

command a retract on travel moves. If you don’t have

Z Hop When Retracted

enabled, you

run the risk of striking any inflated layers or other bits sticking up off the model. At high travel
speeds this can result in lost steps (causes layer shift), or you could knock the model loose from
the build plate.

Z Hop Height

goes hand in hand with the z hop setting above. A 1mm Z hop is

recommended as it should clear any model features in the travel path and can be performed
very quickly.

Cooling

Fan Speed

will allow you to set the speed of the part cooling fans as a percentage.

Minimum Layer Time

is used to regulate the print speed in order to prevent “heat soak”

in a printed part.  Heat soak can occur when the part your printing on is having layers deposited
at a rate that doesn’t allow sufficient time for previously printed layers to cool.  This can result in
deformed layers and other issues.  If the area to be printed is small enough, the print time for
the current layer will fall under the specified layer time and the print speed will be reduced to
meet that figure.

Lift Head

presents an alternative to slowing down the layer print speed – when the layer

is finished, the hot end will lift up away from the part and wait until the

Minimum Layer Time

has expired. It will then lower and being printing the next layer.
