2.7. BASIC TAB OPTIONS
Shell Thickness
This denes 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 specic 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.
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% ll density is functional for most prints.
Perimeters Before Infill
This option will toggle the order in which the inll and perimeters will be
printed. We recommend leaving this on.
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 dierent, depending on what type of lament
you are using.
