![]() On top of helping with adhesion, brims accomplish the same things as a skirt, too: they allow you to check that your printer is extruding filament properly and that the bed is level in the areas where your print will occur. This means that a brim actually expands the surface area that’s in contact with the print bed, helping keep a print adhered. However, unlike skirts, a brim is always directly connected to the first layer and not separated by any space. The default skirt minimum length of 250 mm works fine, but you can lower it for skirts on smaller models.īrims are very similar to skirts in that they’re multi-line structures that are always only one layer in height and form a perimeter around the first layer of a printed model. If your slicer calculates a skirt length smaller than this value, then it won’t be printed. Skirt Minimum Length: This setting controls how long the skirt has to be to actually be printed.The default value for the skirt distance is 10 mm, but, if you have a larger print, you might want to decrease it (e.g. Raising this value will push the skirt further away from your print, decreasing the usable space on your build plate. ![]()
