Hi Folks! Technivorous here! Welcome to my Cura playlist! before we get started hit that subscribe button, so you can find your way back here! i update often! That said,
As you may have noticed, cura settings can be very simple, or very in depth, so i took the time to make a video about each section in the custom settings menu and im going to quickly go over the important settings each section contains, and briefly explain them. are you ready? Good, lets Go! this is Cura Settings, in five minutes or less!
Hi folks, TechNiverse here. Welcome to my Cura playlist. Before we get started,
hit that subscribe button so you can find your way back here. I update often.
That said, as you may have noticed, Cura settings can be very simple
or very in-depth. So I took the time to make a video about each section in the custom settings
menu and I'm going to quickly go over the important settings each section contains
and briefly explain them. Are you ready? Good, let's go. This is Cura settings in five minutes
The next section in the Cura custom settings is the speed section. Now this is a section that's
highly dependent on your hardware, the machine itself. If you have a pre-made or pre-bought
printer that is in Ultimaker's list of supported printers, when you are setting up Cura, definitely
select that. It should get you the closest parameter to what is the usual for the printer
that you're using. Now for me, 75 is what's plugged in here and this is for my Ender 3.
That's a little high for my Ender 3. It does do pretty well at speeds but I tend to go for quality
over speed and that's one of the things you want to consider here. If you turn the printer down,
in most cases it will increase quality but it will also increase print time. So you want to
find that happy medium for your machine. Like I said, basically using the default setting is fine.
Adjust it up and down a couple millimeters per second while you're printing your models over a
long period of time and eventually you will tune it into what you find as the sweet spot between
quality and quantity, I guess you would say. You'll note under print speed there are several
different speeds that are listed here. Infill speed, wall speed, outer wall speed, inner wall
speed, top and bottom speed. Now these are done on a percentage basis and they are calculated
based on this first number. You can see if I hit this reload button, Kira settings have this fancy
thing where it'll automatically pop back to what it is set to for my default profile settings and
for the Ender 3 it is 50. I was slicing this model to print it a little bit faster so I did increase
the speed to 75 as this filament is a particulate filament which means that it has stuff in it
and it comes out a little rougher looking anyway so I wasn't too worried about having every perfect
detail. There are a couple other items in speed including travel speed and initial layer speed.
These are things that are when initial layer speed for example is very similar to initial print
temperature. It's basically going to print that first layer slower or faster depending on how
well your adhesion is going, what the bed is doing, how hot it is, if you need to speed it up or slow
it down just to get something to stick, that's what this is for. Skirt and brim speed is exactly
what it sounds like and basically the number of slower layers is going to determine how long it
takes before it starts to speed up past the initial layer speed. So all of that's pretty
self-explanatory and simple but I guess you could say that about most of these settings. Remember
we will be going into more depth the actual settings themselves but right now this is
basically an overview of the capabilities of each section of Kira. As always this channel
