FILAMENT
Diameter (mm)
The lament diameter setting is one of the more important settings. Make sure that you update
this value periodically with your average lament diameter. While your lament may be referred to
as 1.75mm, it is more likely going to be near 1.7mm +/- 0.1mm. You will want this to be an accurate
average, as it will allow your printer to correctly calculate how much lament it is pulling into the
Extruder.
Flow (%)
This controls how much lament your printer is extruding in relation to speed. This setting is
mainly used to adjust for lament density variations. Leave this value at 100% as changing it can
lead to surface quality issues.

MACHINE
Nozzle Size (mm)
This denes your nozzle size. The slicing engine uses this value
combined with your other settings to determine how quickly
to feed lament into your Extruder. The WANHAO 3D
Printer uses a 0.4mm nozzle.
RETRACTION
Speed (mm/s)
Retraction Speed determines the speed at which your
lament is reversed out of the Extruder for travel moves and
when changing direction during printing. We recommend
keeping this set to 40mm/s.
Distance (mm)
Retraction Distance determines how much lament is pulled out of your Extruder on travel moves
and when changing direction. You will want to adjust this depending on temperature settings
and lament type. Higher thermal retaining laments such as PLA behave better with a longer
retraction distance. Anywhere from 1mm to 3mm is a good starting range.
