Summary

That was the end of the chapter! We covered a lot of information, so let’s recap what we learned.

First of all, we discovered how to create a custom printing preset by duplicating a default preset. Then, we went through all the most important options to pay attention to when customizing a printing profile.

We discovered how to set the printing temperature for our material, controlling both the extruder and the heated bed, then we found out how to set the layer height, the filament diameter, and an extrusion multiplier to adjust the extrusion width.

After these general settings, we analyzed in detail how to control the shell geometries and the infill geometries, reviewing most of the available settings.

We also looked at advanced adhesion techniques to avoid issues related to thermal shrinkage and temperature differential.

Following this, we went through support material creation and speed and acceleration parameters.

Lastly, we covered the tessellation...
