Slicer parameters

Gaps in the raft smaller than this minimum will be filled in, reducing raft complexity.

Extruder to print the raft base with.

Affects the spacing between the base fill and the innermost shell. For more overlap, use a lower value.

This defines the space between each pair of adjacent shells. The number is a multiplier of the extrusion width. Set this under 1.00 to have the insets overlap, and over 1.00 for gaps between the insets. In general, it's best to have the insets overlap slightly. This value applies to the shells of the raft base layer.

Distance between the outer edge of your object and the edge of the raft.

An additional vertical offset between each raft base layer and the layer immediately below it. Use a negative value to compress layers together.

Extrusion width on the raft's base layer(s). This value should be much wider than your nozzle width.

Height of raft's base layer(s). This value should be much higher than your normal layer height.

The base layer of the raft is printed slowly, with thicker extrusion. This setting specifies how many base layers are printed. More layers can help the raft stick if your build platform is very uneven.

Number of shells printed for raft's base layer(s). Additional shells may make the raft easier to remove.

Extrusion width on the raft's interface layer(s). This should be equal to or greater than the nozzle width.

Extruder to print the raft interface with.

This defines the space between each pair of adjacent shells. The number is a multiplier of the extrusion width. Set this under 1.00 to have the insets overlap, and over 1.00 for gaps between the insets. In general, it's best to have the insets overlap slightly. This value applies to the shells of the raft interface layer.

Number of shells printed for raft's interface layer(s). Additional shells may make the interface more stable.

Height of raft's interface layer(s).

An additional vertical offset between each raft interface layer and the layer immediately below it. Use a negative value to compress layers together.

The interface is the middle section between the raft base and the raft surface. This setting specifies how many interface layers are printed.

Number of shells printed for raft's surface layer(s). Additional shells may make the raft easier to remove.

Height of raft's surface layer(s). Values close to the default layer height are recommended.

Extruder to print the raft surface with.

This defines the space between each pair of adjacent shells. The number is a multiplier of the extrusion width. Set this under 1.00 to have the insets overlap, and over 1.00 for gaps between the insets. In general, it's best to have the insets overlap slightly. This value applies to the shells of the raft surface layer.

Your printed object will rest on the raft's surface layers. This setting specifies how many surface layers are printed.

Distance between the outer edge of your object and the edge of the raft.

Your printed object will rest on the raft's surface layers. This setting specifies how wide the surface layers are printed.

An additional vertical offset between each raft surface layer and the layer immediately below it. Use a negative value to compress layers together.

Affects the spacing between the surface fill and the innermost shell. For more overlap, use a lower value.

Extrusion width on the brims shells. This value should be much wider than your nozzle width.

This defines the distance between the model outline and the first brims shell. Increasing the offset produces brims farther from the model hence easier to remove. Decreasing this value increases brims adhesion to the model.

This defines the amount of overlap the next brims shell applies to previous shell. In general, it's best to have the outsets overlap slightly for increased hold.

Select to print your model with brims. Can be used in tandem with rafts. Brims generate on top of raft.

This sets how many shell layers the brims will be.

This sets how many shell layers the brims created for enclosed areas within the external boundary of the model will be. Imagine a donut - the donut hole, is an enclosed area.

An additional vertical offset between brims and the layer immediately below it. When using both raft and brims, increasing the spacing allows brims to be drooped onto the raft, allowing for both lateral support and easy removal from raft/brims mold.

Select to have first-layer shells and floors filled in with baseLayerWidth of 2.50. Useful better floors when printing with brims. Useful for stronger adhesion when printing raft-less/brims-less. Useful for printing when precise build plate leveling is not of interest/possible.

Adjust outermost outline of base layer when using padded base. This allows minimal compensation for layer alignment in cases of close proximity footprints (think of a gear or moving parts) or z-leveling inaccuracies (affects plastic displacement as extrusions fuse together where buildplate is too close to nozzle). Negative value brings the outline inwards towards center of model.

Extrusion width for Padded Base Layer.

When set to true, the slicer will make sure that lines of extrusion that bridge gaps will always run between stable anchor regions. When set to false, none of the bridging settings below will be used.

A bridge is the underside of a print that is supported at both ends but not in the middle. If a bridge is longer than the length set here, support will be printed underneath.

The bridge anchor settings determine which sections on an object can be used as stable anchor regions. If an anchor region is too narrow or too shallow, it will not provide a large enough base for the end of your bridge. Sections of your object narrower than the value set for bridgeAnchorMinimumLength or shallower than the value set for bridgeAnchorWidth will not be used as anchor regions.

The bridge anchor settings determine which sections on an object can be used as stable anchor regions. If an anchor region is too narrow or too shallow, it will not provide a large enough base for the end of your bridge. Sections of your object narrower than the value set for bridgeAnchorMinimumLength or shallower than the value set for bridgeAnchorWidth will not be used as anchor regions.

Determines how fine the rasterization to discover bridged regions will be - finer rasterization can give better results, but will be much, much slower.

Remove regions of infill narrower than this distance.

Model fill profiles for surface, solid, and sparse.

Do minimum fill.

Fraction of minfillDisappearingAreasInsetDist to be applied to the remaining area determines how quickly that area would be disappearing under continued insetting. Determines how quickly thinning areas are allowed to disappear.

Inset distance used to identify disappearing areas during downward shrinking. Areas that are disappearing too quickly to print during shrinking, will be preserved and this value determines how wide those structures will be.

Once minfillDisappearingInsetDist is applied to an area, this config specifies minimum area leftover required for shrinking to proceed.

Max bounding cube side that results in strong, good quality walls with 0% infill.

Max z height that results in strong, good quality walls with 0% infill.

When new minimum fill areas for a given layer are identified, slivers beyond this morphological opening distance are cleaned up (in mm).

Modifies algorithmically calculated morphological-closing distance value.

Experimentally determined stable square side (in mm) within which area minimum fill pillars can grow to large heights before pillar areas have to massivley expand without to guarantee stability.

Minimum fraction of xy area needed for stability of minimum fill pillars supportin it without considering z height. Pillar are will not be allowes to shrink below this minimum.

Inset/outset distance used for sliver cleanup in minimum fill areas resulting from roof replacement.

Outset/inset distance used for closing tiny holes in minimum fill areas resulting from roof replacement.

Thickness of minimum fill solid roof in mm. Overrides minfillRoofThickness if larger. If not a multiple of layer height, the distance is rounded up to the next layer.

Up to this angle roof is not going to be suppoted.

Thickness of minimum fill surface roof in mm. If not a multiple of layer height, the distance is rounded up to the next layer.

Once below this threshold (mm²), top-most minimum fill area identified will not be supported by minimum fill. This is the area identified after allowed overhang distance has already been inset. So it can not be large.

Minimum guarateed distance from minimum fill area boundary to roofs on the same layer within xy plane.

The angle at which shrinking minimum fill structures can slant.

The angle at which upward srinking minimum fill structures can slant.

Once centers of work areas are identified, those are outset to generate work areas. This is the distance of the outset in mm.

In order to identify 2d local work areas, detected disappeare areas are outset and intersected with the remaining parts of the model, this is the outsetting distance (in mm) used for such detection.
