Special Modes

Surface Mode

  • Treats the model as a surface only, a volume, or volumes with loose surfaces. The normal print mode only prints enclosed volumes. “Surface” prints a single wall tracing the mesh surface with no infill and no top/bottom skin. “Both” prints enclosed volumes like normal and any remaining polygons as surfaces.

Spiralize Outer Contour

  • Spiralize smooths out the Z move of the outer edge. This will create a steady Z increase over the whole print. This feature turns a solid model into a single walled print with a solid bottom. This feature should only be enabled when each layer only contains a single part.
