*The infill is how solid the void spaces inside the model get filled [10% is standard for a hexagon
pattern]. A higher percentage will result in a more solid object, so 100% infill will make your
object completely solid, while 0% infill will give you something completely hollow. You should
avoid solid infill as the object will not cool properly and will be subject to distortion.
*The number of shells is the number of layers the extruder adds plastic to the perimeter of a
print. [Two shells are standard. More shells result in a stronger object but may introduce
distortion.]
*Layer height is how thick each layer of filament gets added to the model <0.20 is standard
layer height _ the smaller the layer height the better the quality>
