medium📝 Analysis Q14 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand expected wall thickness
With 2 perimeters and 0.5 mm width, wall thickness should be 1.0 mm.Step 2: Identify why actual thickness differs
The actual extrusion width may differ from the set perimeter width, causing mismatch.Final Answer:
The printer's actual extrusion width differs from the set perimeter width -> Option AQuick Check:
Extrusion width mismatch causes wall thickness error [OK]
Quick Trick: Check actual extrusion width, not just settings [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Assuming layer height affects wall thickness
- Thinking print speed changes wall thickness
- Miscounting number of perimeters
