LulzBot TAZ 5 - Differences in Layer Height; Shell Thickness

Figure 1.14: Dierences in Layer Height
Shell Thickness
This denes the number of vertical walls that comprise the outside of your
model. We recommend keeping this set to multiples of your nozzle width.
Your TAZ 3D printer is equipped with a 0.5mm nozzle.
Enable Retraction
Retraction tells your printer to pull lament 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 lament. We recommend keeping
this on for all lament types, and adjusting the retraction length and speed
for the specic lament.
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.
