2.20. EXPERIMENTAL SETTINGS TAB
Enable Coasting
This prevents extrusion from occurring near sharp corners and at the end
of layers, and allows the pressure of the nozzle to extrude the remaining
lament. This gives sharper corners, and prevents gaps and blobs at layer
changes.
• Coasting volume determines how much of the material should be
ignored at the end of a move or when changing directions. This
number should be near your nozzle diameter cubed.
• Minimum volume before coasting determines how much feed stock
must be taken into the extruder before enabling a coasting move. This
ensures enough pressure has been built up to prevent a gap in the
layer.
• Coasting speed determines how fast your print head will move
during these moves. A slightly slower speed such as 90% is a good
recommended starting point.
Alternate Skin Rotation
Alternate skin rotation allows you to change your top and bottom inll
patterns. Usually the top and bottom layers are rotated at a 45 degree
diagonal, but this setting allows rotations along the X and Y axis.
Spaghetti Infill
Spaghetti inll is designed to print the inll sporadically, causing the inll
to curl up reducing print time. Once activated you can specify dierent
aspects of how the inll is generated. This setting produces weaker parts
and can be inconsistent between prints.
Enable Conical Support
Enabling conical support will make supports that have a small base, and
get larger once closer to the part they are supposed to support. After acti-
vating, you can dene the conical support angle and conical support
minimum width. This setting tends to be less reliable than other support
methods described previously.
