WORKING WITH VOXELS
The Voxelizer soware allows you to work with an innovative technique: VOXELIZATION.
Nowadays most programs use 3D objects represented as surfaces forming closed
volume. Voxelizer interprets models as voxels - similarly to atoms, representing it as
nite number of blocks in space. This method oers many new possibilities and its clo-
ser to reality. Aer voxels creation soware automaticaly switches to voxel view.
For an easy start, you can use PRESETS for various extruder congurations.
Most common ones are 1.75mm extruder, and 3.0mm extruder. Simply select one that
suits your hardware setup, and click 'generate gcode' button. If you want to tinker with
the settings, read further points below.

Below you can nd most important settings you should pay attention to:
?
• LAYER HEIGHT - setting lower layer height will give better quality but print will take more time
• INFILL RATIO - density of internal inll - standard as 0.5 (50%)
• PERIMETER COUNT - number of perimeters for external shell of the object
• FILAMENT DIAMETER - usually 1.75 or 3.00
