Technical Data
Adjustments
- Speed of travel (at slicing or in g-code editor)
- Layer thickness (at slicing)
- Volume of flow per unit distance (at slicing or in g-code editor)
- Extruder temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build) (MK-1, VOL-25)
- Cooling Fan speed (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build (MK-1, QS-1)
- HotBed Temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build)
Or, is tabular better?
| Metric | Units | During Slicing | In G-Code Editor | GUI During Build |
