Layer Height Layer height is a critical setting in 3D printing that determines the thickness of each individual layer in a print. Measured in microns or millimeters, it affects both print resolution and speed. Lower layer heights, such as 0.1 mm, produce smoother, more detailed surfaces but take longer to complete, while higher layer heights, such as 0.3 mm, print faster but may result in visible layer lines. The ideal layer height depends on the printer's nozzle size, material properties, and the desired balance between detail and efficiency. Choosing the correct layer height is essential for optimizing print quality and structural integrity. |
