21 +Set the layer height using the Print Settings dropdown to be 0.2 by default.
22 +
23 +If you select smaller values then that will allow you to print finer details but the print will take longer.
24 +
25 +If you select larger values then your print will have less detail, but it will be faster.
26 +)))
27 +1. (((
28 +Set the filament type using the Filament dropdown. This should be written on the side of the filament reel.
29 +)))
30 +1. (((
31 +Set the printer type using the Printer dropdown. This should be written on a wooden card in front of the printer you're using.

36 +=== Orientation/Supports
37 + ===
38 +
39 +The orientation of your 3D print is important because each layer is supported by the one beneath it. For example if you were 3D printing a pyramid, you would ideally want the base of the pyramid to be the base of the 3d print. Use the Rotate command to rotate your part if you need to.
40 +\\??? image goes here: The rotate command can be found in the panel on the left
41 +
42 +
43 +If your design needs to have overhanging or unsupported pieces, then you have two main options:
44 +1) Have the slicer add in supports which can be broken off once the print is finished. To do this make sure the Supports dropdown is not None.
45 +2) Use the Cut command to cut your part into pieces that could each be printed like a pyramid. For example a sphere would be very difficult to print and would require a lot of supports, but if you cut the sphere in half each half could act effectively as a pyramid and would be very simple to cut. When the print is finished, the two halves can then be glued together.
