2.9. SHELL TAB SETTINGS
Seam Corner Preference
Cura will automatically try to set up the Z seam on a corner, unless user
specied is selected in alignment. The seam corner preference setting allows
a user to dene how a seam is hidden, without needing to manually dene
a coordinate. You have four options with this setting:
• The None option will ignore the corners of your objects while setting
up Z seams.
• The Hide Seam option will attempt to put your Z seam on an inner
corner, making it harder to see.
• The Expose Seam option will attempt to put your Z seam on an outer
most corner, making it more visible.
• The Hide or Expose Seam option will allow Cura to decide to place
the seam on an inner or outer corner. Cura will choose whichever
option is quickest to complete the print.
Ignore Small Z Gaps
Ignore small z gaps prevents excessive processing time while generating
gcode and printing. If there is a small gap in the Z direction of your model,
a top and bottom skin can be generated in the gcode. Checking this option
will prevent the additional skin from being generated.
Extra Skin Wall Count
Extra skin wall count will add additional walls for your top and bottom
layers only. This is used as a cosmetic eect, and can also be used to help
top layers when using sparse inll.
Ironing
Ironing is a process where your nozzle will go over a horizontal top layer,
performing a smoothing action giving cleaner top surfaces. After activated,
several new options will appear.
• Iron only highest layer will prevent ironing from occurring on
every horizontal layer, and only iron the topmost horizontal layer.
