Detailed Print Settings
| Setting | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Extruder Temperature | 220-250°C | Start with lower temperature and increase if needed |
| Bed Temperature | 80-110°C | Essential for bed adhesion and preventing warping |
| Print Speed | 40mm/s | Reduce for better quality, increase for faster prints |
| Layer Height | 0.1-0.3mm | Lower for detail, higher for speed |
| Infill | 10-20% | Adjust based on strength requirements |
