If you want to 3D print a model with 2mm walls, you could either use a 0.4mm nozzle and print five walls or use a 1mm nozzle and print just two walls. If you set a Wall Thickness of 1mm, it will correspond to 2.5 Wall Lines, resulting in inconsistent print quality. If you’re using a standard 0.4mm nozzle, you’ll want to set a Wall Thickness of 1.2mm, as it corresponds to exactly 3 Wall Lines. It’s highly recommended to set a Wall Thickness that is a multiple of your nozzle diameter. BCN3D Cura Wall Thickness preview: Outer Wall (red), Inner Walls (green) Calculating the Wall Line Count The reason behind this difference is that you may want to print the Outer Wall at a lower speed to increase the surface finish, as it’s the only wall you usually see and touch.
The Wall Thickness is used in combination with the Top/Bottom Thickness, which allows you to control the thickness of the wall in the vertical direction. The Wall Thickness divided by the Wall Line Width defines the number of walls. The Wall Thickness setting represents the thickness of your model’s walls in the horizontal direction. In this post, I’ll show you everything you need to know about Wall Thickness and how make the best out of it.
If you want to 3D print stronger parts or start post-processing your models, the Wall Thickness setting is what you’re looking for. At BCN3D we’ve developed BCN3D Cura, an advanced slicing software that allows you to make the best out of the BCN3D printer and material family. Once you have your part’s purpose in mind, adjust the wall thickness on your BCN3D Cura to obtain the perfect mechanical properties and surface finish.Ī great 3D printing experience requires more than just making great hardware.
