|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | A single flat layer printed around the base of a model to prevent warping. The width can typically be altered in a slicer program.

|
||||
| show | The total time it takes for a 3D printer to complete a 3D print.
🗑
|
||||
| show | measures the amount of filament used over a given period, as in millameters printed per second.
🗑

| Creep | show 🗑
|
||||
| Skirt | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | In 3D printing the shell refers to the walls of the print that are exposed to the outside of the model. 3D will print shells at the perimeter of the model and then fill the model with infill. Different to wall thickness.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Pulling or stretching a material. An important term in plastics to understand how a material will deform under load.
🗑
|

| X-axis | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The back and forth direction relative to the print bed
🗑
|
||||
| show | Sometimes called parint resolution this is the height of each layer of a 3D print typically measured in microns
🗑
|
||||
| X-axis | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A measurement of distance regularly used to describe 3D printing layer height. 1,000th of a millimeter. A human hear is approximately 17 microns thick.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Retraction is the recoil movement of the filament necessary to prevent dripping of material during movements and displacements that the vacuum extruder performs during 3D printing.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The common name for the most widely used programming language. It is used in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools (like 3D printers)
🗑
|
||||
| Raft | show 🗑
|
||||
| Offset | show 🗑
|
||||
| Overhang | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A value usually represented in percentage that shows how much a solid model should be filled in with material when printed. 100% infill means the part is completely solid. Infill is used to make 3D printing cheaper and faster.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The speed the print head moves around the build plate typically measured in mm/s. 50mm/s is a common speed for desktop 3D printing.
🗑
