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 seƫngs.
• 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.
