printer moves. As a general rule, the slower you print, the better the quality of
the parts. For tall parts, running at Fast speed can be problematic as the
printer can vibrate to the extent that print quality is affected. For large surface
area parts, the Fine setting can be problematic as the printer takes longer to
print the part and the corners are therefore more likely to lift a little bit.

This function is useful for printing STl files that are not perfect.
A perfect STL file is a fully enclosed surface (water tight), with no holes in the
surface skin, and no overlapping surfaces. If your file is not perfect, this option
should allow you to print it anyway.

Calculating model costs
The main factor that will affect model cost is the part interior fill structure, and
support material. If, for example, one is printing a cube measuring 30mm x
30mm x 30mm, with a layer thickness of 0.25mm, the following quantities of
material are used depending on the print mode.
