Layer Heights

Layer height

Height of the individual slices/thickness of each layer. Layer height is the main factor affecting both:

  • print time

  • vertical resolution

By choosing taller layer heights you can significantly shorten the print time at the cost of more visible layers. On the other hand, choosing small layer height (e.g. 0.10 mm) will result in extra detail at the cost of longer print times.

Maximum layer height for your nozzle The layer height should be below 80% of the nozzle diameter (e.g. the maximum layer height with 0.4 mm nozzle is about 0.32 mm). The layer height cannot be higher than the nozzle diameter, C6 will display an error message if you try to input such value.
