Skirt
Line count: The skirt is a line drawn around the object at the first layer. This helps to prime your extruder,
and to see if the object fits on your platform. Recommended setting as 1 with best
performance. Setting this to 0 will disable the skirt. Multiple skirt lines can help priming your extruder better
for smaller objects.
Start distance: The distance between skirt line and model. Default distance is 3.
Minimal length: The minimal length of the skirt, if this minimal length is not reached it will add more skirt
lines to reach this minimal length. Recommended setting as 250 with best performance. If the line count is
set to 0 this is ignored. If the model is too small to have a too short skirt line will not help to clean nozzle.
Infill
Solid infill top: Create a solid top surface, if set to false the top is filled with the fill percentage. Disable this
feature and set fill density as 0 to print cups/vases that are without top model.
Solid infill bottom: Create a solid bottom surface, if set to false the bottom is filled with the fill percentage.
Disable this feature and set fill density as 0 to print buildings that are without bottom model.
Infill overlap: Amount of overlap between the infill and the walls. There is a slight overlap with the walls and
the infill so the walls connect firmly to the infill. Recommended setting as 10 with best performance. Too big
will influence quality of model surface.
Support
Fill amount: Support print density.
Recommended setting as 15 with best performance. More density makes the support not easy to remove.
Less density influences print quality.
Distance X/Y: Distance of the support material from the print, in the X/Y directions. 0.7mm gives a nice
distance from the print so the support does not stick to the print. Too far will influence support performance.
Distance Z: Distance from the top/bottom of the support to the print. A small gap here makes it easier to
remove the support but makes the print a bit uglier. 0.15mm gives a good separation of the support material.
Too far will influence support performance.
Birm
Birm line amount: Default as 5, more lines, more firmly the model sticking to platform.
Raft
Extra margin: If the raft is enabled, this is the extra raft area around the object which is also rafted.
Line spacing: When you are using the raft, this is the distance between the center lines of the raft line.
Fix Horrible
Combing everything ( Type‐A )/( Type‐B ):This expert option adds all parts of the model together. The result is
usually that internal cavities disappear. Depending on the model this can be intended or not. Enabling this
