Slicer is a program that turns a 3D model file into a G-code script, which can be interpreted by your machine’s firmware. Without a slicer, your printer would not know how to function. With it, you can specify settings that dictate how your model will be printed. Slicer settings are important because every 3D printer is different, every material is different, and every 3D model is different. Printers and materials will therefore always require different settings to achieve a good print quality. Today, we are going to talk about 5 slicer settings that are fundamental to 3D printing and why they are important. The first slicer setting will be temperature. The temperature of the nozzle is the single most important setting in your slicer because, without a Goldilocks level of heat (not too cool, not too hot), no print will work. Nozzle temperature should be the first thing you tune on your slicer whenever you begin printing with a new filament, and you can do this by printing a ...
