bed, or where the bed is not very flat, but it is usually not required and is
not recommended. The raft also requires post-processing to remove it.
Speed. In simple mode there are only three speed settings to consider:
• Perimeters
- The outline of the model may benefit from being printed
slightly slower so that the outside skin of the print has fewer blemishes.
• Infill
- As the infill is hidden this can be extruded a little faster.
Take care though not to go too fast as higher speeds results in thinner
extrusions, and this may affect how the extrusions bond.
• Travel
- The jump between the end of one extrusion and the next
should usually be performed as quickly as the printer will allow in
order to minimise any mess caused by material oozing from the nozzle.
Brim. Brim
is used to add more perimeters to the first layer, as a base
flange, in order to provide more surface area for the print to stick to the
bed with in order to reduce warping (see
§
3.3). The brim is then cut away
once the print is finished and removed from the bed.

Sequential printing.
When printing several objects at once it can be
useful to print each one separately as this will minimise oozing and strings
running between the prints. Care has to be taken that the nozzle and
extruder does not interfere with already printed parts. This is the reason
for the Extruder clearance parameters:
