2.16. BUILD PLATE ADHESION SETTINGS TAB
Tower Support Settings
Tower support will generate support material that expands outside the
section of print it is meant to support at the base, and become smaller once
getting closer to the support interface. This helps ensure a solid support
structure, preventing parts from coming loose mid print.
Tower Diameter
Tower diameter will dene how far the base of the support extends outside
of the object it is meant to support. A larger number here will help generate
more stable support, but will require more material to print.
Minimum Diameter
The minimum diameter setting will specify how wide the top of your
support structure is when interacting with the model. Set this to your
nozzle diameter (0.5 mm) to have the narrowest support top possible.
Tower Roof Angle
The tower roof angle will build from your tower diameter base up to
your minimum tower diameter at the specied angle. Higher numbers will
provide a more vertical “pointy” support structure, while lower numbers
will provide a more “at” support build up.
2.16 Build Plate Adhesion Settings Tab
Build plate adhesion will allow you to modify how your object is adhered
to the plate, along with priming your extruder before the print. First you
will want to select what type of build plate adhesion technique to use. You
have four separate options to choose from.
Skirt
Skirt prints a single layer tall ring around your object, which is intended
to prime the extruder and ensure no missed extrusion when starting your
actual object. Once selected you can specify a distance to keep from the
