All the settings we will go through are done on the Cura software. So, we suggest following them along on this same software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up the software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, before you get into the settings, there are some things you need to do. First of all, you will need to make the settings visible on Cura software. By default, most of the settings are hidden. To make them visible, you go to the gear symbol you will see in the material section settings. There you will get an option called setting visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside that, you will get a list of functions and tick boxes. Check all the tick boxes there. Then close the box. This will enable all the settings and options on the printing settings. Also, make sure to enable retraction so you can customize the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
