Cura LulzBot Edition
Fuzzy Skin
Fuzzy skin creates a unique rough texture on the outside of your object.
This is accomplished by making several small passes at an angle to the wall
while printing. After activating you will be able to determine the skin
thickness and skin density. This setting provides cosmetic benets
only.
Flow Rate Compensation
Flow rate compensation is a setting used to compensate for the pressure
delay during retracts in Bowden systems. For direct drive systems such as
LulzBot 3D Printers this setting will not be required.
Wire Frame Printing
Wire frame printing generates a wire frame of your object. This is
accomplished by moving upward in the Z direction while making X/Y
movements. After making an extrusion, it will move to a new location, drop
down in Z, and repeat the process. This will make weak, yet aesthetically
pleasing prints.
Use Adaptive Layers
Adaptive layers is an excellent setting that helps speed up print time while
preserving high detail curves. Adaptive layers will print thicker layers on
more vertical parts of your model, and thinner layers on more curved parts
of your model.
• Adaptive layers maximum variation will dene the largest layer
dierence allowed from the base layer and the top layer. A higher
number will decrease print times, but reduce overall aesthetic quality.
• Adaptive layers variation in step size will determine the
maximum change in layer height from one layer to the next.
• Adaptive layers threshold compares the tangent of the steepest
slope of your model to determine if a small layer should be used or
not. It is recommended to check layer prior to printing to ensure
desired results.
