The sweet spot in terms of time versus quality would be a layer height of 0.2 mm, because the layers aren't as noticeable, and the print time is considerably shorter than with thinner layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Initial layer height<\/strong> refers to the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">first layer<\/span>, which is one of the most important settings in the entire printing process. This height cannot be less than 0.16, unless you are already an expert and have complete control over the extruder and a perfectly leveled bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A layer height of less than 0.16 can cause jams, since the nozzle is so close to the filament that it won\u2019t allow it to exit properly, causing the extruder to skip steps and produce that infamous \u201cTac Tac Tac\u201d noise, among other issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Line width<\/strong> It will be easy to set up, since you'll always have to place the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">nozzle size<\/span> that you have installed on the hotend. If the nozzle is 0.4, then that is the line width. If not, then use whatever size you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This setting can be configured in millimeters starting at <strong>Wall thickness<\/strong>, or by the number of walls starting from <strong>count of wall lines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more walls a print has, the harder and more solid it will be, but it will also take longer to print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <strong>More walls = greater strength = more printing hours<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <strong>Fewer walls = lower hardness = fewer printing hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My general recommendation would be to use between 2 and 4 walls and supplement them with filler.
