below.

The first thing I want you to do is click on the Show Help check box that's highlighted by the
arrow in the image above. This will turn on verbose descriptions of each one of the parameters
available in the Settings page.
I'm going to only cover the "Simple" configuration settings for right now. There's a LOT that
goes on to configuring your slicer and the Simple configuration setting allows many of those to be
hidden until you're more comfortable with how your printer works.
Layer Height – This parameter tells the slicing engine how thin to make the layers when it
slices up the model as I described earlier. A good default layer height is 0.2 or 0.25mm. The lowest
practical layer height with a 0.5mm nozzle is 0.1mm. You can go lower than that, but it requires a
smaller nozzle diameter. You can also got a lot thicker, but that requires a larger nozzle. If you change
the Quality from Standard to Coarse or Fine, you'll notice how the layer height changes.
