If this layer is less than or equal to [close_fan_the_first_x_layers](#no-cooling-for-the-first), it is ignored and the fan will reach the maximum allowed speed on the layer immediately after [close_fan_the_first_x_layers](#no-cooling-for-the-first) (i.e. at layer [close_fan_the_first_x_layers](#no-cooling-for-the-first) + 1).

When the overhang exceeds this specified threshold, force the cooling fan to run at the 'Overhang Fan Speed' set below. This threshold is expressed as a percentage, indicating the portion of each line's width that is unsupported by the layer beneath it. Setting this value to 0% forces the cooling fan to run for all outer walls, regardless of the overhang degree.
### Overhangs and external bridges fan speed

Use this part cooling fan speed when printing bridges or overhang walls with an overhang threshold that exceeds the value set in the 'Overhangs cooling threshold' parameter above. Increasing the cooling specifically for overhangs and bridges can improve the overall print quality of these features.
Please note, this fan speed is clamped on the lower end by the minimum fan speed threshold set above. It is also adjusted upwards up to the maximum fan speed threshold when the minimum layer time threshold is not met.
### Internal bridges fan speed

With increasing print speeds (and hence increasing volumetric flow through the nozzle) and increasing accelerations, it has been observed that the effective PA value typically decreases. This means that a single PA value is not always 100% optimal for all features and a compromise value is usually used that does not cause too much bulging on features with lower flow speed and accelerations while also not causing gaps on faster features.
This feature aims to address this limitation by modeling the response of your printer's extrusion system depending on the volumetric flow speed and acceleration it is printing at. Internally, it generates a fitted model that can extrapolate the needed pressure advance for any given volumetric flow speed and acceleration, which is then emitted to the printer depending on the current print conditions.

##### How to calibrate Adaptive Pressure Advance
It's highly recommended to use the [Adaptive Pressure Advance Calibration guide](adaptive-pressure-advance-calib).
It's highly recommended to use the [Adaptive Pressure Advance Calibration guide](adaptive_pressure_advance_calib).
1. Run the pressure advance test for at least 3 speeds per acceleration value. It is recommended that the test is run for at least the speed of the external perimeters, the speed of the internal perimeters and the fastest feature print speed in your profile (usually it's the sparse or solid infill). Then run them for the same speeds for the slowest and fastest print accelerations, and no faster than the recommended maximum acceleration as given by the Klipper input shaper.
2. Take note of the optimal PA value for each volumetric flow speed and acceleration. You can find the flow number by selecting "flow" from the color scheme drop down and move the horizontal slider over the PA pattern lines. The number should be visible at the bottom of the page. The ideal PA value should be decreasing the higher the volumetric flow is. If it is not, confirm that your extruder is functioning correctly. The slower and with less acceleration you print, the larger the range of acceptable PA values. If no difference is visible, use the PA value from the faster test.

A polyhole is a technique used in FFF 3D printing to improve the accuracy of circular holes. Instead of modeling a perfect circle, the hole is represented as a polygon with a reduced number of flat sides. This simplification forces the slicer to treat each segment as a straight line, which prints more reliably. By carefully choosing the number of sides and ensuring the polygon sits on the outer boundary of the hole, you can produce openings that more closely match the intended diameter.

This setting moves the start of the internal wall's seam around across layers as well as away from the external perimeter seam.

It can also help improve the water tightness of your model.

This is useful when printing with [Outer/Inner](quality_settings_wall_and_surfaces#outerinner) or [Inner/Outer/Inner](quality_settings_wall_and_surfaces#innerouterinner) wall print order, as in these modes, it is more likely an external perimeter is printed immediately after a de-retraction move, which would cause slight extrusion variance at the start of a seam.

## Initial layer
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `initial_layer_speed`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `initial_layer_speed`.
This setting determines the printing speed for the first layer, excluding [solid infill](strength_settings_top_bottom_shells) regions. It applies to the [outer/inner walls](strength_settings_walls), [sparse infill](strength_settings_infill) when [bottom layers](strength_settings_top_bottom_shells#shell-layers) is set to 0.

## Initial layer infill
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `initial_layer_infill_speed`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `initial_layer_infill_speed`.
Defines the speed used specifically for [solid infill](strength_settings_top_bottom_shells#shell-layers) regions on the first layer. These areas require more precise and consistent extrusion to create a flat and stable surface for subsequent layers. Printing this section too fast may result in high internal stresses (increased risk of warping), poor layer uniformity, or adhesion failures.
## Initial layer travel speed
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `initial_layer_travel_speed`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `initial_layer_travel_speed`.
Sets the travel (non-printing movement) speed for the first layer. This doesn't affect the printing quality and can be set to a percentage of the [travel speed](speed_settings_travel).
Usually, this is set to 100% of the [travel speed](speed_settings_travel), but it can be reduced if you want to minimize vibrations or if your printer has issues with high-speed travel movements.

Specifies how many of the first layers should be printed at a reduced speed.

This gradual ramp-up helps maintain adhesion and gives the print more stability in its early stages, especially on prints with a small contact area or materials prone to warping.

## Length
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `retraction_length[extruder_idx]`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `retraction_length[extruder_idx]`.
When retraction is triggered before changing tool, filament is pulled back by the specified amount (the length is measured on raw filament, before it enters the extruder).
## Extra length on restart
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `retract_restart_extra[extruder_idx]`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `retract_restart_extra[extruder_idx]`.
When the retraction is compensated after changing tool, the extruder will push this additional amount of filament.
## Retraction speed
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `retraction_speed[extruder_idx]`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `retraction_speed[extruder_idx]`.
Speed for retracting filament from the nozzle.
## Deretraction speed
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `deretraction_speed[extruder_idx]`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `deretraction_speed[extruder_idx]`.
Speed for reloading filament into the nozzle. Zero means same speed of retraction.

This forces a retraction on layer changes.
## Wipe while retracting
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `wipe[extruder_idx]`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `wipe[extruder_idx]`.
This moves the nozzle along the last extrusion path when retracting to clean any leaked material on the nozzle. This can minimize blobs when printing a new part after traveling.
## Wipe distance
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `wipe_distance[extruder_idx]`.
[Variable](built_in_placeholders_variables): `wipe_distance[extruder_idx]`.
Describe how long the nozzle will move along the last path when retracting.
Depending on how long the wipe operation lasts, how fast and long the extruder/filament retraction settings are, a retraction move may be needed to retract the remaining filament.
Setting a value in the retract amount before wipe setting below will perform any excess retraction before the wipe, else it will be performed after.
## Retract amount before wipe
[Variable](Built-in-placeholders-variables): `retract_before_wipe[extruder_idx]`.

Enable this option to omit the custom Change filament G-code only at the beginning of the print. The tool change command (e.g., T0) will be skipped throughout the entire print. This is useful for manual multi-material printing, where we use M600/PAUSE to trigger the manual filament change action.
