Transform

Option Description Example Default
Scale Decides whether Slic3r will scale up/down the model 1.2 will scale the object to 120% of the original size 1 (100%)
Rotate Rotates the model around the Z (vertical) axis 180 will turn the object 180 degrees (turn it around) 0
Copies along X Creates additional copies along X axis Using "3" will produce 3 copies of the object on the X axis 1
Copies along Y Creates additional copies along Y axis Using "3" will produce 3 copies of the object on the Y axis 1
Distance between copies How much space (in mm) will be between copies Using "20" will space the objects 20mm apart (from the edge of each object) 6
## Accuracy
Option Description Example Default
Layer height (mm) Defines the height of every layer An object that is 5mm high and printed at 0.5mm layer height will be printed in 10 layers. With every layer 0.5mm high 0.4mm
First Layer Height Ratio This defines the ratio (percentage) at wich the first layer will be printed A ratio of 0.75 with layer height set at 0.4mm would mean a first layer printed at 0.3mm 1
Infill Every N Layers 1

Skirt

Option Description Example Default
Loops Defines the number of loops to print surrounding the object to print 2 loops would mean that before printing the object, the printer will print 2 complete loops around the object to be printed 1
Distance From Object (mm) The amount of distance between the loops and the object that will be printed 10 would mean that the loops will be printed 10mm (1cm) away from the object 6 (mm)
Skirt Height (Layers) The amount of layers that the skirt will be printed for 5 would mean the the skirt is printed for the first 5 layers of the object 1
