Advanced Tools in Prusa Slicer - Layer Height, Infill and Brim (Pilot)

This lesson has been developed as part of the ‘Manufacturing a Healthy Future’ program, which focuses on strengthening the engagement of primary schools with STEM and manufacturing. The program utilizes 3D printing as an example technology to promote exciting career opportunities in manufacturing while focusing on sustainability and diversity in STEM.

SUMMARY

Understanding 3D ‘slicing’ software is an integral component to successful 3D printing. In this lesson, learners will go through some advanced tools of the Prusa Slicer like “Layer height”, “Infill” and “Brim”, to get the a general overview of the Prusa Slicer you should first pass the course “Basics of Prusa Slicer – Overview and Simple Slicing” .

This lesson is designed for beginners and those just starting their 3D printing journey – but it may also be helpful for experienced users who have used any other slicing software for 3D printing.
