Raft
Raft will generate a layer of material underneath your object. Raft was
more often used before the addition of heated plates to increase surface
area. Raft settings can be adjusted in the Expert Settings options.
Filament Diameter
The lament diameter setting is one of the more important settings. Make
sure that you update this value periodically with your average lament
diameter. While your lament may be referred to as 3mm, it is more
likely going to be near 2.9mm +/- 0.1mm. You will want this to be an
accurate average, as it will allow your printer to correctly calculate how
much lament it is pulling into the hot end.
Filament Flow %
This controls how much lament your printer is extruding in relation to
speed. This setting is mainly used to adjust for lament density variations.
Leave this value at 100% as changing it can lead to surface quality issues.

Nozzle Size (mm)
This denes your nozzle size. The slicing engine uses this value combined
with your other settings to determine how quickly to feed lament into your
hot end. The TAZ ships with a 0.5mm nozzle.
Retraction Speed (mm/s)
Retraction Speed determines the speed at which your lament is reversed
out of the hot end for travel moves and when changing direction during
printing. We recommend keeping this set to 25mm/s or lower.
