2. You may adjust “ADVANCED”settingsrelatingto: “Fill”
(infill) such as “Infill Speed,“Infill Overlap”, and
“Infill Amount”; “Filament”suchas“Diameter”and
“Flow”; “Retraction”suchas“Amount Extruder Switch”
(the amount to retract or raise the extruder when switching
between extruders on a dual-extrusion 3D printer), “Speed”
(the speed at which to perform the retraction –tooquicka
speed may “yank” up just -e xt r ud ed fi l am e nt whereas very
slow retraction simply wastes time), “Amount”(theheight
by which to raise the extr ud er); “Quality”(whichmight
be more alternately described as thickness of the exterior
of the print object) such as “Initial Layer Thickness”,
“Extrusion Width”, “Wall Thickness”, “Bottom Layer
Count”, and “Top Layer Count”; “Speed (which goes into
more detail than the basic “Speed” setting un d er “ BASIC
options) including among other things “ Initial Layer Speed”
(as printing the initial layer ; and “Cool”suchas“Minimal
Layer Time”and“Cooling Fan”(onlyrelevantifyour
printer has a cooling fan).
3. You may adjust via the “G-CODE”tabtheactualstarting
and ending Gcode that will be sent to the printer.
