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
  • BedBuild 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
