CURA WANHAO EDITION USER MANUEL REV.B 21 / 23
Only Follow Mesh Surface
This will cause your print to follow the outside of your model, building it completely hollow with
a single wall outer shell. The only difference between this and Spiralize, is that the Z axis moves
regularly. That is, it prints a layer and then moves up to the next one.
1.18 Brim
Brim circles the base of the print while making contact, helping adhere the print to the heated
plate. This is only one layer thick, and easily removed post-print. This section defines how the
brim is formed when brim is activated in basic settings.
Brim Line Amount
This will determine the distance the brim will cover around the outside of your object. The more
brim used, the better your part will adhere to the plate.
1.19 Raft
Raft is a platform built underneath your object, designed to help adhesion and prevent warping.
It will lay down support material, and then a platform on top of the supports. Your model will be
built on top of this platform. The bottom surface of your printed part will not be as clean or as
even when using this option. Raft is typically not recommended.
Extra Margin
This determines the distance around the outside of your object that the raft is created. Can be
helpful for ensuring no warping of the lower layers.
Line Spacing
This will determine the spacing between “support” lines for the raft. A small spacing makes the
support structures closer together improving strength of the raft, but uses more material.
Base Thickness
This defines how thick your raft will be.
Base Line Width
This will define how wide your “support” material is for the raft. This setting will determine how
well the surface layers of the raft print.
Interface Thickness
This will determine how thick the surface layers of the raft are. The surface layers are the
platform that is built upon the supports.
Interface Line Width
This will determine how wide the top layers of the platform will be. Ingeneral, you can keep this
set to your nozzle size, as surface quality of the removable raft is not important.
