Printing Temperature/Printing Temperature Initial Layer
- Temperature the hot end is heated to for the main print and initial layers respectively. Higher initial layer temperature can improve flow and bed adhesion. Temperatures will vary from material to material, therefore users will need to refer to the spool itself for optimal operating temps.
-
Initial Printing Temperature/Final Printing Temperature
- Allows the printer to operate within a gradient from the beginning to the end of the print if needed. Setting will generally be governed by the base print temperature unless otherwise altered.
-
Build Plate Temperature/Build Plate Temperature Initial Layer
- Allows the build plate, if supported, to heat itself to a set temperature to improve adhesion for a print. A higher initial temperature can ensure better adhesion for the first layer while lower temperatures will ensure less warping overtime. A value of zero will disable bed heating.
-
Flow/Initial Layer Flow
- Flow is represented by a percentage scale from 0-100% for most features represented on the print such as infill, inner and outer walls, supports, etc. The setting will configure the amount of filament the extruder will provide during the process of printing. Normally can be left at 100%, flow settings are normally used as a compensatory measure in the event of other issues during printing.
