Layer height is the single most impactful setting for both surface quality and print time. Thinner layers produce smoother surfaces but take longer to print.
Available Profiles
| Profile | Layer Height | Tolerance | Surface | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine | 0.08 mm | ±0.10 mm | Mirror-smooth | Slowest |
| Normal | 0.20 mm | ±0.18 mm | Good | Fast |
| Draft | 0.28 mm | ±0.25 mm | Visible layers | Fastest |
When to Use Each
Fine (0.08 mm)
Best for small, detailed parts where surface finish is critical. Miniatures, display models, and parts that will not be post-processed. Expect 3-4x longer print times compared to Normal.
Normal (0.20 mm)
The workhorse setting. Fast, reliable, and good enough for most functional parts, jigs, fixtures, and internal components. Our most popular profile.
Draft (0.28 mm)
Maximum speed for concept models, fit checks, and parts that will be heavily post-processed (sanded, painted, or coated). Visible layer lines.
Dimensional Tolerance
All values are typical. Actual tolerances depend on geometry, material, and part orientation. Critical dimensions can be held tighter with post-machining or calibration prints.
