Wall configuration in Cura provides the ability to make adjustments to wall thickness, print number and sequence, as well as fill gaps between walls, print thin walls, modify horizontal expansion, and select seam placement, among others. other alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wall extruder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This configuration is used with 3D printers that have a dual extrusion system, It is used to define which of the extruders should print the walls<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your printer does not have a dual extrusion system, this setting will remain hidden<\/strong>, unless the number of extruders is changed in the printer settings.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
This setting defines which extruder will print the walls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

wall thickness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This setting adjusts the thickness in millimeters<\/strong> of the walls. Cura rounds the thickness in relation to the line width, always based on nozzle size<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
(With a 04 nozzle, two walls equals 08mm)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A wall thickness of 2-3 times the line width (the size of the nozzle) may be adequate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the line width is 04 mm, the quantity in millimeters for 2 walls would be 08mm, and for 3 walls it would be 1.2mm. (This will be automatically multiplied by Heals when selecting the number of walls.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A printed model with more walls will be stronger and will reduce the chance of leaks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A model printed with fewer walls can lower print times and the amount of filament. (but it would be more fragile)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Wall Line Count<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You can also choose to place the number of walls you want under \u201cwall line count\u201d. This option is the easiest, just place the number of walls you want and that's it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you set the wall line count, the wall thickness in millimeters will be automatically calculated by Cura.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"
    Example: The model on the left has 2 walls and the one on the right has 3 walls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Recommended Minimum Number of Walls<\/strong>: 2 walls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Outside wall pass distance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When you finish making an exterior wall does an extra path without extruding<\/strong>. This is to reduce the seam a bit when the nozzle is moved from an exterior wall to other parts of the 3D print.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"
    Here a distance of 0.8mm (not extruded) was set to reduce the seam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Outer wall recess<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It is used to compensate the position of the outer wall, in the event that the configured line width is less than the nozzle width<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    For example<\/span>: 0.75 line width with a 0.80mm nozzle leaves a 0.05mm gap on both sides of the printed line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then an offset of 0.025 must be set to balance the outer part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recommendation: Always set the line width (in the quality section) to be equal to the size of the nozzle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Exterior walls before interior ones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It is used to choose which walls to print first<\/strong>, the exterior or interior walls. <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"
    Overhang quality may decrease<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    When the outer walls are to be printed first is selected, the dimensions will be more accurate but the quality of the overhang may decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Toggle additional wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Add an extra wall every two layers<\/strong>. In this way "the filling is enclosed between the walls", delivering stronger impressions. <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"
    If 2 walls are set up, 1 extra wall will be added every two layers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    If you set the wall lines to 2 walls and enable an additional wall, they will print 2 walls on even layers and 3 walls on odd layers.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Offset Wall Overlaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Used to reduce extrusion when the nozzle has to pass twice over a narrow area<\/strong>. In this way the walls are printed without the part being overextruded. <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Wall<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    This setting can be enabled for both exterior and interior walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fill spaces between walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When printing lines finer than the nozzle size, gaps may remain unfilled between walls. This can happen between exterior and interior walls where the pattern ends at corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    this option It serves to fill those spaces between walls<\/strong>, the spaces left after printing the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Fill
    Fill spaces between walls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Notice how the gap fill option influences the movements of the path. The printer has to come back to fill in those empty spaces.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Filter small gaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Some gaps are so small that because of travel, time, and additional extrusion, they are not worth being stuffed<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also enable this function to fill those gaps, if you really consider it necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    print thin walls<\/h2>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    This option is for printing walls thinner than the size of the nozzle.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lines may still be overextruded, but at least they won't be removed entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Printing
    Example of "print thin walls"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Sometimes what we see on the drawing board is not the same as what we see in Cura, sometimes it happens that some walls "disappear".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the example above the walls on the right disappear, this can be solved in 3 ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Activating the option to print thin walls<\/strong>, being able to recover the walls (but perhaps some details are lost).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Changing the nozzle for a smaller one<\/strong>. This can help to recover the walls and the details (but it will surely increase the times).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Returning to the drawing board<\/strong>. Sometimes there is no other option than to solve a problem at its source.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      It must be understood that when designing for 3D printing, some details must be taken into account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And it is that creating a 3D design with thinner walls than a nozzle can print can be problematic<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      horizontal expansion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Horizontal expansion may be necessary when tolerances are large. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When the pieces need to fit together and do not, it is because the dimensions of the 3D printed model do not correspond to those of the designed model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This can be due to the deformation of the plastics when printing at high temperatures, or an uncalibrated extruder flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Enabling horizontal expansion can compensate for these differences in object dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

      A positive value will increase the size of the model lines, while a negative value will decrease it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is used to modify the line width when pieces that should fit do not fit.<\/p>\n\n\n

      Horizontal expansion of the initial layer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This feature has exactly the same effect as horizontal expansion, but only applies to the first layer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This can help in the first layer, increasing dimensional accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Horizontal expansion of holes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This feature has the same effect as horizontal expansion , only it is applied to closed holes in the X,Y plane of each layer, and not on the outside of the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Alignment of Z seams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This configuration allows you to choose where the extruder will start each layer<\/strong> (in Z-direction) and modify the position of the seam<\/strong> in the model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Changing the alignment of the Z-stitch can make the seam less visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The available options are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • User Specified<\/strong><\/span>: Sets a Z coordinate of the seam. In this case the orientation of the piece is important<\/strong>, because as it is positioned on the base you can choose which is the back, left or right, or which is the front, left or right.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n

              For some projects it may be necessary to expose the seam to do a Post Processing of the print. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              To do so you can adjust the following settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • None - The seam will be held at the seam alignment position on the Z axis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Hide Seam: Will work to hide the seam as much as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Show Seam: The seam will be exposed as much as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Hide or Show \u2013 The seam will be hidden when possible and exposed when there is no other option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Smart Stitching: Allows you to stitch in both corners, but more often chooses the inside corners if appropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
