Slicing Tips
• Depending on your 3d model and filament type you should
o en change several main se ngs. The majority of print quality
issues can be fixed by changing slicing se ngs.
• Print speeds, layer height, exterior wall thickness (or perime-
ter count), infill density, support material se ngs, hotend
temperature and fan cooling are the typical se ngs to modify. Refer to the Cura and Simplify3d
websites and forum.gcreate.com for many useful tutorials.
• Always use high-quality filament to reduce issues and improve your results.
