Cura LulzBot Edition
Filter Out Tiny Gaps
Filter out tiny gaps will try to identify any mesh errors, or tiny gaps in the
outer section of your model. This reduces starts and stops, and helps the
outer surface nish of your print.
Print Thin Walls
The print thin walls option will attempt to print sections of your print
that are smaller than your nozzle diameter in the X/Y plane. It is not
recommended to use this setting on objects that are less than 1/2 your
nozzle diameter.
Horizontal Expansion
The horizontal expansion setting will add a set oset to your model object.
Positive values can compensate for too large of holes, while negative values
can compensate for too small of holes. You can set this for the entire print,
or specically for the initial layer.
Z Seam Alignment
As your printer builds up layer by layer, there is a start and stop point
to each layer before moving up in Z. Where this location happens on your
outer most shell is referred to Z seam alignment. You have four separate
options to choose from while dening this location:
• The Shortest option will set the Z seam location to the shortest path
possible. This can speed up print time while leading to a systematic
Z seam depending upon model geometry.
• The Random option will generate a random start and stop location
for each layer, causing the “seam” to be broken up between layers.
• The Sharpest Corner option will place the Z seam along a corner,
allowing it to be less noticeable.
• The User Specified selection will allow you to specify a X/Y
coordinate on the bed plate. The Z seam will be placed as close
to this location as possible when making Z-axis moves.
