While not always necessary, especially to print some of the simpler models, Cura offers a wide array of parameters you can use to optimize your prints in scenarios where every bit of optimization makes a significant contribution to the quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to their advanced nature, these parameters are hidden in Cura by default, requiring you to toggle their visibility manually by filtering the options individually or using one of the pre-set filters such as Advanced or Expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, we will talk about one such parameter, known as minimum layer time<\/strong>, which can make a great deal of difference to the quality of the layers when configured correctly, especially for complex models where problems are more likely to arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what is the minimum layer time option in Cura?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minimum layer time in Cura is a parameter that allows you to specify the minimum amount of time the printer has to spend on a layer before moving on to the next one, even if it finishes printing the layer beforehand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though minimum layer time isn’t a complex feature to use, incorrectly configuring it can do more harm to your prints than good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the upcoming section, we will take a more detailed look at how the feature works and how you can configure it as optimally as possible to ensure that you get the highest amount of value from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n
