Build Plate Adhesion

Enable Prime Blob

  • Determines whether to prime the filament with a blob before printing. Turning this setting on will ensure that the extruder will have material ready at the nozzle before printing. Printing Brim or Skirt can act like priming, in which case turning this setting off will save time.

Build Plate Adhesion Type

  • Different options that help to improve both priming the extrusion and adhesion to the build plate. Brim adds a single layer flat area around the base of your model to prevent warping. Raft adds a thick grid with a roof below the model. Skirt is a line printed around the model, but is not connected to the model.

Build Plate Adhesion Extruder

  • The extruder train to use for printing the skirt/brim/raft. Used in multi-extrusion.

Brim Width

  • The distance from the model to the outermost brim line. A larger brim enhances adhesion to the build plate, but also reduces the effective print area.
– Brim Line Count
    • The number of lines used for a brim. More brim lines enhance adhesion to the build plate, but also reduces the effective print area.

Brim Only on Outside

  • Only print the brim on the outside of the model. This reduces the amount of brim you need to remove afterwards, while not reducing the bed adhesion as much.
