2.9. SHELL TAB SETTINGS
• 75% backlash correction on the second layer
• 50% backlash correction on the third layer
• 25% backlash correction on the fourth layer
• 0% backlash correction on the fth and subsequent layers.
Backlash correction is turned on at 100% for the entire print by default by
setting the layers to “99999.” This is very helpful when printing at extremely
small layer heights (less than 0.1 mm.) If you would like to use turn o
backlash compensation, set this value to 0.
2.9 Shell Tab Settings
This section will allow you to change all of the settings used to generate
the outer portions of your model. This includes inner walls, outer walls,
top surface and bottom surface settings.
Wall Extruder
The wall extruder option will allow you to specify which nozzle will be used
for the inner and outer walls. This option is only available while using the
Dual Extruder, and can be used to force specic material combinations for
the outer shell of your object.
Wall Thickness
The wall thickness setting is used to dene how thick your outer shell is.
When setting a wall thickness in millimeters, it should always be a multiple
of your nozzle diameter or wall line width if you have made adjustments to
that setting. If this is not an even multiple, Cura will attempt to match
the distance as close as possible and may lead to undesired results.
The wall line count will dene the number of walls to be printed.
This will pull information from your nozzle diameter and wall line width,
to automatically override the wall thickness number.
