Each type of object has its own range of optimum thickness for printing and only with a bit of experi-
ence you can intervene on this knowing what parameter are you going to actually meeting. Our tip is
to choose a small enough, but with an articulated form, upon which to pursue a systematic experi-
mentation, thanks to which you will be able to see the eect of each variation.
The denition on the two axes X and Y it is not controllable by the user resulting from the model ge-
ometry, being composed of triangles, could show the facets in place of so surfaces, rounded or well-
detailed. This depends on the number of triangles in the mesh of the components. More triangles
can bring greater detail, or are simply the consequence of a process of creating non-optimized mesh.
The number of triangles determines a greater job for the slicing soware and if the triangles are
tens of thousands, then they can even cause processing problems. As you can guess, below a certain
threshold the details are no longer “resolved” from the printer and then are basically useless. Or,
rather, are signicant in view of the enlargement of the model for printing a detail. To reduce the
number of triangles describing the 3D model there are several programs and even Slic3r himself
provides an option that allows you to dene under which size details go ignored, simplifying and
speeding up the model slicing.
It should be also considered that the minimum thickness of the walls is recommended for vertical
1.05 mm consisting of three accomplished perimeters of the extruder.
