  • 55-100% Infill (100% always Recommended)
  • No Raft
  • Blue Painters Tape
  • Level Build Plate!

  • 60C Build Plate

  • Blue Painters Tape
  • No raft
  • Fan on at 5th layer and up for large prints
  • Level Build Plate

Leveling the Build Plate:

When printing in .05-.10mm resolutions, use a head speed of 50-60mm at Maximum. Less will yield better results, and a travel speed of 100-120

We use Blue Painters Tape on the build plate. When leveling the plate, you keep a single piece of paper under the nozzle the entire time. It should have SOME resistance. It should not be hard to pull or push the paper through.

Be advised, don't remove the paper from under the nozzle until the leveling is complete. You wont be able to put the paper back under the nozzle if pulled with the painters tape applied.
