Adjusting Print Settings
The included slicer software has many options for
adjusting the parameters of a print. Learning how
to fine-tune your printing is an essential part of
producing high-quality 3D printed objects.
Recommended Print Setup
The recommended print setup pane is selected
by default. This pane includes basic settings that
modify the speed and durability of your prints.
Most prints can be set up using the recommended
setup pane (see Figure 22).
Figure 22. Recommended print settings.
Layer Height/Print Speed: This slider can
change the layer height between 0.1, 0.15, and
0.2mm. A smaller layer height results in more
layers overall, which increases overall resolution
of the printed object but drastically increases the
print time.
Model G0922 (Mfd. Since 07/20)
Infill: Changes the percentage infill for the print
from 0–100%. 100% infill will result in a com-
pletely solid object. 0% infill will result in a hollow
interior. Depending on the model, 0% infill may
not be possible if the shell cannot support itself.
In general, an infill of 15–30% is appropriate for
most prints, but can be modified for an expedited
print time or to create an object that needs extra
durability.
Enable Gradual: This setting automatically deter-
mines the infill based on the model, increasing
the infill percentage towards the top and bottom
of the print. This setting can be used to resolve
"bubbling" that occurs, where the top layers of the
print do not cool properly and sink into the infill.
Generate Support: This setting automatically
generates support structures wherever the model
overhangs. In general, this setting should be
selected.
Build Plate Adhesion: The setting automatically
prints a rim around the base of the object. A rim
makes the printed object easier to remove from
the build plate and reduces the likelihood of warp-
ing. The rim must be removed from the object
after completion.
