- Page 11 ... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com option D CURA or MatterControl (considered as the last resort, we recommend Simplify3D) MatterControl and CURA are free and provide good results. The airframe is still strong enough, but don‘t expect the best quality. Both slicers lacks some very useful features, and finer settings, like multiple processes according to Z height, retraction options, layer start, etc.

- Page 13 ... print your plane | www.3DLabPrint.com Basic Tips and Advice Please experiment with your extrusion multiplier to achieve the same weights as in the list. HotEnd temperature is very important for a strong result. The reason is the plastic leaving the nozzle has to melt the previous layer to create solid joint.
