Outer Wall Wipe Distance
The outer wall wipe distance will insert a short travel path into the inner
wall before making a travel move. This is intended to allow any ooze from
the nozzle to be caught and distributed on the interior of a print, giving a
cleaner surface. Half the nozzle diameter is a good recommended starting
point.
Top Surface Skin Layers
The top surface skin layers allows you to make custom adjustments to
just your top layer. When activated you can adjust your top pattern, the
number of top layers, the inll pattern, and the inll direction. By changing
these variables you can get dierent results for the top of your model to
meet mechanical and aesthetic requirements.
Top/Bottom Extruder, Thickness, Pattern
The top/bottom extruder option allows you to specify an extruder for
printing the top and bottom layers. This can be helpful depending on
the needs of the print, but usually will not require adjustment. In this
section, you can also individually specify the top and bottom thickness,
pattern, and direction of your model. You have the option to set a
thickness in mm, or dene it by the number of layers. As with the top
surface patterns, you can adjust the inll pattern and angle for these layers
here.
Outer Wall Inset
The outer wall inset will allow you to print your outer wall skinnier than
the nozzle of your diameter. This is accomplished by slightly overlapping
the inner wall by the amount dened here.
Optimize Wall Printing Order
This setting will attempt to optimize your tool path, speeding up the overall
duration of the print. This will create a dierent order of operations on how
your model is created, to reduce time. This can lead to quality concerns
