# Brim
|
||||
|
||||
Brim is a flat layer printed around the base of a model to help with adhesion to the print bed. It can be useful for models with small footprints or those that are prone to warping.

## Type
|
||||
|
||||
This controls the generation of the brim at outer and/or inner side of models.
|
||||
Auto means the brim width is analyzed and calculated automatically.
|
||||
Controls how the brim is generated on a model's outer and/or inner sides.
|
||||
|
||||
### Auto
|
||||
|
||||
The Auto brim feature computes an optimal brim width by evaluating material properties, part geometry, printing speed, and thermal characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
- Model geometry
|
||||
- Uses the model's bounding box to determine dimensions.
|
||||
- Height-to-area ratio: `height/(width²*length)`.
|
||||
- Printing speed
|
||||
- Higher maximum printing speeds generally increase the recommended brim width.
|
||||
- Thermal length
|
||||
- Defined as the diagonal of the model's base.
|
||||
- Reference thermal lengths (material-specific):
|
||||
- ABS, PA-CF, PET-CF: 100
|
||||
- PC: 40
|
||||
- TPU: 1000
|
||||
- Material adhesion coefficient
|
||||
- Default: 1
|
||||
- PETG/PCTG: 2
|
||||
- TPU: 0.5
|
||||
|
||||
The computed brim width is capped at 20 mm and at 1.5× the thermal length. If the final width is under 5 mm and also less than 1.5× the thermal length, no brim will be generated (width = 0).
|
||||
|
||||
### Painted
|
||||
|
||||
Painted will generate a brim only on painted areas of the model in the Prepare tab.

||||
Generates a brim only on areas that have been painted  in the Prepare tab .
|
||||
|
||||
### Outer
|
||||
|
||||
Outer will generate a brim around the outer perimeter of the model.
|
||||
Easier to remove than inner brim but can affect the model's appearance if the brim is not removed cleanly.
|
||||
Creates a brim around the model's outer perimeter.
|
||||
Easier to remove than an inner brim, but may affect the model's appearance if not removed cleanly.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Inner
|
||||
|
||||
Inner will generate a brim around the inner perimeter of the model.
|
||||
More difficult to remove than outer brim and may close the model's inner details, but can hide where the brim was removed.
|
||||
Creates a brim around inner perimeters.
|
||||
More difficult to remove and less effective than an outer brim and may obscure fine inner details, but it can hide the brim removal seam.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Outer and Inner
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a brim around both the outer and inner perimeters of the model.
|
||||
This approach combines the **disadvantages** of both brim types, making it more difficult to remove while potentially obscuring fine details but improving overall adhesion.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
>> Consider using a [raft](support_settings_raft) on complex models/materials.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mouse Ears
|
||||
|
||||
Mouse ears are small extensions added to the brim to help with adhesion and prevent warping.
|
||||
Usually this ears are added in the corners of objects to provide additional support and affect the model's appearance less than a full brim.
|
||||
Mouse ears are small, local brim extensions (typically placed near corners and sharp features) that improve bed adhesion and reduce warping while using less material than a full brim.
|
||||
The geometry analysis routine selects candidate locations based on the configured angle threshold and detection radius.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ear max angle
|
||||
|
||||
Maximum angle to let a brim ear appear.
|
||||
If set to 0, no brim will be created.
|
||||
If set to ~180, brim will be created on everything but straight sections.
|
||||
Angle threshold (degrees) used to decide where mouse ears may be placed:
|
||||
|
||||
- 0° — disabled; no mouse ears are generated.
|
||||
- Between 0° and 180° — ears are created at features with local angles sharper (smaller) than the threshold.
|
||||
- 180° — ears are allowed on almost any non-straight feature.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ear detection radius
|
||||
|
||||
The geometry will be decimated before detecting sharp angles. This parameter indicates the minimum length of the deviation for the decimation.

# Fuzzy Skin
|
||||

||||
Randomly jitter while printing the wall, so that the surface has a rough look. This setting controls the fuzzy position.
|
||||
Fuzzy skin randomly perturbs the wall path to produce a deliberately rough, matte appearance on the model surface.

||||
These settings control where the effect is applied, how the noise is generated, and how aggressive the displacement or extrusion modulation is.

|
||||
## Reduce Infill Retraction
|
||||
|
||||
Don't retract when the travel is in infill area absolutely. That means the oozing can't been seen. This can reduce times of retraction for complex model and save printing time, but make slicing and G-code generating slower.
|
||||
When enabled, the slicer will skip retractions for travel moves that occur entirely inside infill regions. This reduces the number of retractions and can speed up printing for complex models, but it may increase oozing or stringing inside infill. Slicing time may also increase slightly.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended** when internal cosmetic quality is not critical and you want fewer retractions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add line number
|
||||
|
||||
Enable this to add line number(Nx) at the beginning of each G-code line.
|
||||
Prefix each G-code line with a sequential line number (N1, N2, ...). Useful for debugging or tools that expect numbered G-code.

||||
|
||||
## Verbose G-code
|
||||
|
||||
Enable this to get a commented G-code file, with each line explained by a descriptive text. If you print from SD card, the additional weight of the file could make your firmware slow down.
|
||||
Include descriptive comments for G-code lines and blocks to make the file human-readable and easier to debug.
|
||||
Verbose mode produces much larger files and may slow down SD-card printing on some printers.

||||
## Exclude Objects
|
||||
|
||||
Enable this option to add EXCLUDE OBJECT command in G-code.

|
||||
## Shield
|
||||
|
||||
A draft shield is useful to protect an ABS or ASA print from warping and detaching from print bed due to wind draft. It is usually needed only with open frame printers, i.e. without an enclosure.
|
||||
"Enabled = skirt is as tall as the highest printed object. Otherwise 'Skirt height' is used.
|
||||
When enabled the skirt can be printed as a draft shield: a taller wall surrounding the part to help protect prints (especially ABS/ASA) from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
|
||||
This is most useful for open-frame printers without an enclosure.
|
||||
|
||||
- If set to follow the highest object, the shield will be as tall as the tallest printed model on the bed.
|
||||
- Otherwise it will use the value specified in "Skirt height".
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> With the draft shield active, the skirt will be printed at skirt distance from the object. Therefore, if brims are active it may intersect with them. To avoid this, increase the skirt distance value.

> With the draft shield active, the skirt will be printed at [skirt distance](#distance) from the object. Therefore, if brims are active it may intersect with them. To avoid this, increase the skirt distance value.
|
||||

||||
## Single loop after first layer
|
||||
|
||||
Limits the draft shield loops to one wall after the first layer. This is useful, on occasion, to conserve filament but may cause the draft shield to warp / crack.
|
||||
When enabled, limits the draft shield to a single wall after the first layer (i.e. only one loop is printed on subsequent shield layers). This reduces filament and print time but makes the shield less robust and more prone to warping or cracking.

This option prints all objects layer by layer, one layer at a time. This is efficient for multi-part prints as it minimises travel time between objects and can improve overall print speed.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Intra-layer order
|
||||
|
||||
Print order within a single layer.
|

- **Default**: Prints objects based on their position in the bed and travel distance.
|
||||
- **As object list**: Prints objects in the order they are listed in the object list.
|
||||
- **Default**: Prints objects based on their position on the bed and travel distance to optimise movement.
|
||||
- **As object list**: Prints objects in the order they appear in the object list, which can be useful for custom sequencing or debugging.

### By Object
|
||||
|
||||
This option prints each object completely before moving on to the next object.
|
||||
This option prints each object completely before moving on to the next object. This is better for prints where objects need to cool separately or when using different materials per object, but it may increase total print time due to more travel moves.
|
||||
|
||||
This setting requires more models separation and may not be suitable for all print scenarios.

## Spiral vase
|
||||
|
||||
Spiralize smooths out the z moves of the outer contour. And turns a solid model into a single walled print with solid bottom layers. The final generated model has no seam.
|
||||
Spiral vase mode transforms a solid model into a single-walled print with solid bottom layers, eliminating seams by continuously spiralling the outer contour.
|
||||
This creates a smooth, vase-like appearance.
|
||||
|
||||
### Smooth Spiral
|
||||
|
||||
Smooth Spiral smooths out X and Y moves as well, resulting in no visible seam at all, even in the XY directions on walls that are not vertical.
|
||||
When enabled, Smooth Spiral smooths out X and Y moves as well, resulting in no visible seams even on non-vertical walls.
|
||||
This produces the smoothest possible spiral print.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Max XY Smoothing
|
||||
|
||||
Maximum distance to move points in XY to try to achieve a smooth spiral. If expressed as a %, it will be computed over nozzle diameter.
|
||||
Maximum distance to move points in XY to achieve a smooth spiral. If expressed as a percentage, it is calculated relative to the nozzle diameter.
|
||||
Higher values allow more smoothing but may distort the model slightly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Spiral starting flow ratio
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the starting flow ratio while transitioning from the last bottom layer to the spiral. Normally the spiral transition scales the flow ratio from 0% to 100% during the first loop which can in some cases lead to under extrusion at the start of the spiral.

||||
Sets the starting flow ratio when transitioning from the last bottom layer to the spiral.
|
||||
Normally, the flow scales from 0% to 100% during the first loop, which can sometimes cause under-extrusion at the start.
|
||||
Adjust this to fine-tune the transition and prevent issues.
|
||||
|
||||
### Spiral finishing flow ratio
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the finishing flow ratio while ending the spiral. Normally the spiral transition scales the flow ratio from 100% to 0% during the last loop which can in some cases lead to under extrusion at the end of the spiral.
|
||||
Sets the finishing flow ratio when ending the spiral. Normally, the flow scales from 100% to 0% during the last loop, which can lead to under-extrusion at the end.
|
||||
Use this to control the ending and ensure consistent extrusion.

- **Fire-retardant applications:** Some flame-resistant materials (like PolyMax PC-FR) require a minimum printed wall/infill thickness—often 1.5–3 mm—to comply with standards. Since infill contributes to overall part thickness, using multiple lines helps achieve the necessary thickness without switching to a large nozzle or printing with 100% infill. This is especially useful for high-temperature materials like PC, which are prone to warping when fully solid.

Hilbert Curve is a space-filling curve that can be used to create a continuous infill pattern. It is known for its Esthetic appeal and ability to fill space efficiently.

Print speed is very low due to the complexity of the path, which can lead to longer print times. It is not recommended for structural parts but can be used for Esthetic purposes.
