Resolution Guide

1. Nozzle Diameter

0.4 mm
Min Layer Height0.04 mm
Max Layer Height0.30 mm

Valid range: 0.04 mm0.30 mm for 0.4 mm nozzle

2. Filament Material

PLA prints exceptionally well at fine and ultra layers. Low shrinkage makes detail preservation reliable.

3. Use Case / Print Intent

Functional parts prioritize layer bonding and print speed over aesthetics. Standard layer height gives optimal strength-to-time ratio.
