Cura LulzBot Edition
• Wall Line Width will alter the width of the extrusion on “walls”
only. These will be the outermost vertical shells that comprise of
your model.
• Outer Wall Line Width will change just the outer most walls line
width. These can be visualized as the red areas of your model in
“Layer View.”
• Inner Wall Line Width will change just the inner most walls line
width. These can be visualized as the green areas of your model in
“Layer View.”
• Top/Bottom Line Width will change the top and bottom layers line
width. This can be helpful for ne tuning surface quality on the nal
object.
• Infill Line Width will change how wide your internal structure
lines are extruded for the top and bottom thickness setting. Increas-
ing this can be helpful for strength, but will use more material.
• Skirt/Brim Line Width will change how wide your skirt and/or
brim are printed depending upon your selection.
• Initial Layer Line Width will determine how wide your initial
layer is placed onto the plate.
Backlash Fading Distance
Backlash is the amount of play in a mechanical system when changing
directions. During the probing sequence before each print, your printer
will measure the number of motor steps it takes to break electrical contact
when raising the tool head. These steps are then used to determine backlash
in the Z direction. This measurement is used to add additional steps
when making movements in the Z direction to compensate for your specic
machines backlash. After time and movements in the Z direction, this
backlash will no longer be present and can be faded out.
The fading distance will determine over how many millimeters in Z to
“fade” the backlash compensation. For example, if you are printing in 0.25
mm layer heights, and set fading distance to 1 mm you will use:
• 100% backlash correction on the rst layer
