Layer Height Guidelines

0.1mm - Ultra Fine

For miniatures, jewelry, and highly detailed parts

0.15mm - Fine

Smooth surfaces with good detail retention

0.2mm - Standard

Best balance of quality and speed for most applications

0.3mm - Draft

Fast printing for prototypes and concept models

Infill Density Guidelines
5-10%Decorative items, vases
15-20%Standard parts, prototypes
25-40%Functional parts, tools
50-100%High-stress applications
Support Structure Guidelines

✓ Supports Required

Common Issues & Solutions
Troubleshooting guide for typical printing problems

❌ Common Problems

Layer Shifting

Reduce print speed, check belt tension

Stringing

Increase retraction, lower temperature

Warping

Use heated bed, add brim/raft

✅ Best Practices

Pre-Print Inspection

Check bed level, nozzle cleanliness

Material Storage

Keep filaments dry, sealed containers
