    PrusaSlicer 2.3.

    1 settings

    These basic 3D printing settings recommendations for beginners were tested in PrusaSlicer
    2.3.1. Test models were printed on Ultimaker 2, Creality Ender 3, Creality Cr-10S pro v2,
    Anycubic I3 Mega, Anycubic I3 MegaS, Anycubic Vyper with PLA and PETG filaments.

    Note:
    - You can upscale your 3D printing models. Downscaling is not recommended - it can make
    smaller parts of the model unprintable, distort the model’s level of detail and result in assembly
    issues.
    - All connectors should be printed at 100% Infill.
    - When printing Lock connectors, we recommend setting the “Brim width” parameter to 0 in the
    "Skirt and Brim" print settings. In that way, the Locks will be 3D printed with a Skirt only.

    In order to see all the parameters listed below, you need to enable the Expert mode in the
    PrusaSlicer’s settings.

    Advanced
    Extrusion width
    You can try setting all parameters in this section, except the First layer, to values
    between 0.75% of your nozzle diameter and 1.25% of your nozzle diameter. Adjusting
    them will help you work out the optimal parameters for the best quality for your print. As
    for the First layer, you can set it to 150% of the diameter of your nozzle for better
    adhesion to the build plate (for a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the First layer
    extrusion width can be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm)
