printing, High precision printing, Fast printing and Normal printing). The industrial printing
has the best effect and the fast printing has the fastest speed.

2、Specific print parameters include quality, shell, infilling and movement, etc.
（Suggestions for Ender-6: If you want to print at 3 times high-speed, it's recommended to set
the deadhead speed to 50-60mm/s.）

（1）Infill setup
Select the infilling density as shown in the figure: The infilling density of 10% - 30% is the best
filling effect. The fill pattern defaults to cube. Filling affects the firmness of the model. The
higher the filling density is, the firmer the model is, and the longer the printing time is. (You
can view the simulated print progress and print layer progress)

（2）Support setting
If the suspension angle of the model is over 60°, support is recommended. You can set up the
support density / pattern / angle, and choose the only platform support or all supports.
