In most slicer software, you can observe that the whole set of slicer settings isn’t available to the user by default, with the slicer only displaying the options that are essential to the printing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, the more advanced settings require the user to make them visible through filters, as such parameters are optimizations rather than essentials and can be detrimental to the printing process when misused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, we will be looking into one of the more advanced features in PrusaSlicer, known as external perimeters first, which is a feature that can considerably contribute to the printing process when activated in the correct scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what is the external perimeters first feature in PrusaSlicer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Activating the external perimeters first feature in PrusaSlicer instructs the 3D printer to print the perimeters starting from the outside and moving inwards, as opposed to the standard order of printing the inner perimeters first and moving outwards.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Next up, we will take a more detailed look into the external perimeters first feature of PrusaSlicer, find out how to activate this feature, discuss the scenarios where it makes sense to use the feature, and take a quick look at other perimeter-related parameters in PrusaSlicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n
