specified thickness (sometimes referred to as a layer).
Level Thickness (Z-step size, Z-slice step, Z-interval, Z-height)
The thickness (Z-axis) of the material forming a level; also the distance
between adjacent cross-sectional levels of a CAD model.
Liquefier Temperature Control
See FDM Tip Temperature Control.
Load Filament Button
Allows the user to load filament into the FDM hardware. The button is
located directly to the left of the word "LOAD" on the keypad.
ABSi-P500

ized without losing its toughness.
Main Flow
The rate of material flow required to achieve the selected road width.
Main Power Switch
The power switch located on the front panel of the FDM hardware.
Manual Directional Move Buttons
These buttons move the FDM tip(s) along the X-Y axis or the table along
