![]() If you have some extreme overhangs, lots of supports, or supports that might not be sufficient, increasing this can save the top of your print from looking very sloppy. Similar to wall thickness, only on the top/bottom (Z axis) instead of sides. However in comparing sliced results with this at 0 or 1 I usually don’t see much difference. It could be useful if you want to improve the finish on the top surfaces of your prints–especially on flat prints. I usually leave this setting at 0 and just add more Top Layers if I think it is needed. Wall Line Count / total Wall Thickness has a huge impact on print time. For a toy or decorative statue, 1.2mm total wall thickness is a good balance when used along with 10-20% or more infill setting. Structural or weight-bearing prints will want more like 5 walls (2.0mm total thickness) and 30-100% infill, but that uses a lot more time and filament. A thin decorative vase could use a thin total wall thickness like 0.8mm (2 walls), but may break easily when dropped or squeezed. Generally you will want your prints to have at least 1.2 mm total Wall Thickness in order to be sturdy when handled. For a 0.4mm nozzle that means the total Wall Thickness would usually be: 0.8mm, 1.2mm, 1.6mm, or 2.0mm.Your total Wall Thickness should be a multiple of your nozzle size.Line Width should usually be the same as your nozzle size (0.4mm nozzle size is assumed here.).Each individual Wall will be the same thickness as your Line Width.If you see a mistake or want to make a suggestion please leave a comment below!.Disclaimer: The author takes no responsibility for any damage that might occur from use or misuse of information presented here.If you don’t see a setting that is listed here in your Cura, go to the Settings Menu and click “Settings Visibility” then search for it.The below settings assume you are using a standard 0.4 mm nozzle that comes installed by default on most printers.The following printers (and many other 3d printers) are all very similar and use the same settings we will cover:Ĭura Settings Cheat Sheet for CR-10S & Similar 3D Printers: I’ve experimented with a ton of settings and Cura profile variations over the past 3-4 years and below are my conclusions. These settings were tweaked and perfected on a Creality CR10-S. ![]() Using the ranges and explanations in this guide can prevent these problems. ![]() Entering values that are wildly off can lead to a lot of headaches and potentially even damage to your printer. A default profile will not give you any idea how much you can change a setting. ![]() Perhaps to fix a problem, or to try to get the perfect print.
