2.19 Special Modes Settings Tab
The special modes section changes the basic way in which Cura will slice
and generate gcode for your model. These can have some interesting eects
for specic uses.
Mold
The mold option will print a negative of your model by generating a shell
around your model leaving the internal structure empty. This can be used
for pouring in a substrate later to set your 3D object within a mold.
Minimal Mold Width
The minimal mold width setting determines how thick your mold will be
around the outside of your object.
Mold Roof Height
The mold roof height determines how far above your object the mold will
print on horizontal surfaces. This will help give a more accurate model, as
drooping can occur on long horizontal bridging sections.
Mold Angle
The mold angle will determine how rounded the outside of your mold is. A
90 degree setting will have it follow your model exactly, while a 0 degree
setting will be more round and use more material. A 40 degree setting is a
good starting point.
Surface Mode
Surface mode allows you to specify two separate settings from the normal
model geometry.
Surface Mode
Surface mode will ignore your inll, top layer, and bottom layer. This
prints an empty shell one wall thick, without a roof or base layer.
