Filament Diameter 2: The 2nd extruder filament diameter. If the same as the main extruder, please set as 0.
Retraction
Minimum travel: Minimum amount of travel needed for a retraction to happen at all. To make sure you do
not get a lot of retraction in a small area. Recommended 2 as best performance, too small will lead to
frequent retraction.
Enable combing: Combing is the act of avoiding holes in the print from the head to travel over. Enable
combing extruder will always touch the surface of model but disable retraction. If combing is disabled the
printer head moves straight from the start point to the end point and it will always retract. Default enable
coming, but it will increase printing time.
Minimal extrusion before retracting: The minimal extrusion that needs to be done before retracting again. If
a retraction needs to happen before this minimal is reached the retraction is ignored. This avoids retraction a
lot on the same piece of filament which flattens the filament and causes grinding issues. Recommended 0.02
at best performance, 0 means unlimited retraction frequency.
Dual Extrusion
Dual extrusion switch amount: Amount of retraction when switching nozzle with dual‐extrusion. After
switching, the filament in the no working nozzle need to be retracted with some amount to avoid oozing. Set
as 0 for no retraction at all. Recommended setting as 25 for best performance.
Cool
Enable cooling fan: Enable cooling fan during printing to help cool filament down.
Minimal layer time: The minimal time of printing layer to ensure enough cooling time before printing next
layer. Print speed will adjust automatic to satisfy this feature.
Fan full on at height: The height at which the fan is turned on completely. For the layers below this the fan
speed is scaled linear with the fan off at layer 0.
Fan speed min: Minimal fan speed when normal printing.
Fan speed max: Maximal fan speed when automatic slowing down printing.
Minimum speed: Minimum printing speed of each layer. Recommended setting as 10 with best performance.
Too slow will result in nozzle oozing.
Cool head lift: Lift the head, if the minimal layer time is not enough, to extend the cooling time for model
cooling.
Spiralize
Spiralize the outer contour: Spiralize is smoothing out the Z move of the outer edge. This will create a steady
Z increase over the whole print. This feature turns a solid object into a single walled print with a solid
bottom.
When enabling this feature, the top will not be printed and automatically setting infill as 0.
