Step 2 - Print Setting

Model Setup

• Scale & Size – Too small → loss of detail; too large → longer print time
• Orientation – Poor angles can cause rough surfaces or weak layer bonding
• Supports – Missing or excessive supports can lead to surface marks or print failure
• Support Overhang Angle: 45°

Layer Settings

• Layer Height (recommended: 0.12 – 0.3 mm) – Smaller height → smoother surface, longer print time
• Wall Line Count (recommended: 2 – 8) – More walls → stronger print, longer print time
• Infill Density (recommended: 5% – 30%) – Lower infill → faster print, but weaker structure

Temperature & Speed

• Nozzle Temperature (Recommended temperature for PLA: 215. Temperature varies by filament type) – Too low → poor adhesion and print failure; too high → stringing, blobs, or print failure
• Build Plate Temperature (set to 75 °C) – Too low → warping and print failure; too high → overly sticky bottom layers
• Print Speed – Higher speed generally results in lower print quality

Adhesion & Environment

• Bed Adhesion Type (recommended: Brim) – Skirt / Brim / Raft affects print stability
• Levelling – Uneven or dirty print beds cause poor first-layer adhesion
• Ambient Conditions – Drafts or vibrations can distort printed layers
