Layer heights
Finer layers look better and take longer. Most functional parts are printed at 0.2 mm.
0.12 mm
Smooth curves, small text, parts people will handle and look at closely. About 1.8 times the print time of 0.2 mm.
0.2 mm
The usual choice. Strong, clean enough for most functional parts, best price.
0.28 mm
Fast and strong, with visible layers. Right for rough prototypes, jigs, and anything hidden inside something else.
Colours in stock
Most other Bambu Lab and Polymaker colours can be ordered in, usually within two days, for a small surcharge.
