Advanced Setting
Solid fill top: Refers to whether to print the top surface of the
model, uncheck will print it with infill method.
Solid fill bottom: Same as above, and so on.
Spiralis print: Refers to the method of spiral printing the outer
wall of the model (single layer), and this feature is very
suitable for print glass vase model.
Enable retraction: When the nozzle is moving over a none-
printed area, withdraw a certain length length filament to
prevent overflow.
Retract speed: The speed of retraction, too fast can lead
motor out of step, too slow increase printing time.
Retract distance: The length of the filament when enable
retraction.
First layer thickness: Height of the first layer of printing,
generally greater than 0.15mm.
First layer flow: When the set of the first layer is too high, it
can be appropriate to increase the extrusion.
Cut off object bottom: This can be used for objects that do
not have a flat bottom.
Continue print: Being "power outages continued" be
substituted.
Travel speed: The speed when moving over a non-printed
area.
First layer speed: Slightly slow speed can enhance adhesion
model on the platform.
Solid layer speed: The speed is a percentage here, which reference to the global print speed, a
combination of different speeds, you can both get a good print quality and a faster print
time.

Layer height: This is the most important setting to determent the
quality of your print, maximum value not exceed 80% of the
nozzle diameter.
Shell thickness: Refers to the total thickness of the inner and
outer walls, the outer wall is only one, the inner wall can be
more, set this value to an integer multiple of the diameter of
the nozzle.
Flow: Refer to the amount of printing material, 100% standard
dosage, the more material the model prints more plump.
top/bottom thickness: Is the thickness of the upper and lower
models, usually a multiple of layer height.
Fill density: Control how density filled the insides of your print
will be, a value around 20% is usually enough, 0% for hollow.
Print speed: Speed at which printing happens. Print speed is
affected by many factors, it is recommended to use low
speed for complex model, high speed will cause the feed
shortage, need improve nozzle temperature to compensate.
Nozzle temperature: Is the melting temperature of filament,
general use 200 ℃ for PLA and 240 ℃ for ABS.
Bed Temperature: General use 45 ℃ for PLA and 70 ℃ for ABS.
Default main head: The default is the first nozzle, can also be set
to other nozzles, this can reduce the times of changing
filament.
Support type: The touching build plate support type is shown in
figure , everywhere support is shown in figure [A] [B].
Support angle: The larger the angle, the more support generate.
Fill amount: The larger the fill, the more support generate.
Platform adhesion type: The model which is not easy adhesion
on the platform please use Brim, which easy to warped or
ABS filament please use Raft.
