hard📝 Application Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand nozzle diameter and layer height effects
Smaller nozzle diameter allows finer detail; moderate layer height balances detail and strength.Step 2: Evaluate options for detail and strength
Smaller nozzle with moderate layer height improves detail and maintains strength; large nozzle or max layer height reduces detail.Final Answer:
Use a smaller nozzle diameter and moderate layer height -> Option CQuick Check:
Smaller nozzle + moderate layers = better detail + strength [OK]
Quick Trick: Smaller nozzle + moderate layers = fine detail and strength [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Choosing max layer height which reduces detail
- Using large nozzle which lowers resolution
- Ignoring balance between detail and strength
