Select material profile
Type
Material Type: can only choose from preset types
Material ID
A unique number for matching materials. E.g..Tsk file’s material
ID must match printer’s material ID in order to print.

Speed Ratio
N/A
A coefficient that apply to all speed values.
Max Raft Speed
mm/s
Max first layer speed of raft. If faster than this value, will be
override by this value.
Retract
Speed
mm/s
Speed for retraction, the faster the retraction the less likely to
have stringing effect during jumping. But it will also put stress
on extrusion mechanism and the optimal speed depends on
hardware.
Max Length
mm
Max possible length for a single retraction
Min Travel
mm
The distance threshold for retraction, if movement is smaller
than this value, retraction will not be applied.
Ratio
N/A
Actual retraction length = Ratio* Travel.
