1.10. BASIC TAB OPTIONS
Shell Thickness
This defines the number of vertical walls that comprise the outside of your
model. We recommend keeping this set to multiples of your nozzle width.
Your Mini 3D printer is equipped with a 0.5 mm nozzle.
Enable Retraction
Retraction tells your printer to pull filament out of the hot end upon travel
moves. Travel moves are when your print head moves from one area of the
print, to another without laying down filament. We recommend keeping
this on for all filament types, and adjusting the retraction length and speed
for the specific filament.
Bottom/Top Thickness (mm)
Also known as Surface Layers- this will determine how thick the top
and bottom layers are. A larger number here will create a thicker top and
bottom which can be helpful for strength, bridging, and quality purposes.
We recommend keeping this number as a multiple of your layer height.
Fill Density
This number is expressed as a percentage. 0% will give a completely hollow
print, while 100% will give you a completely solid object. We have found
that 20% to 40% fill density is functional for most prints.
Print Speed (mm/s)
Your overall printing speed can be adjusted here. If no other speeds are
determined in the later sections your printer will automatically default to
this speed. This speed will be different, depending on what type of filament
you are using.
Printing Temperature
When using different filament materials you’ll need to update the desired
hot end and heated bed temperature. Any temperatures specified here will
be used to automatically set both the hot end and heated bed. Your print
will not begin until these temperatures are met. The Mini 3D printer needs
