    Layer height

    A smaller layer height increases the layer count and often improves vertical detail, while a larger layer can reduce operating time. The smallest value is not automatically best; nozzle size, geometry, and use all matter.

    Infill

    Infill supports internal surfaces and affects weight and time. Raising it does not automatically compensate for weak orientation or unsuitable wall settings.

    Walls and orientation

    Wall count and layer-line direction can matter more than infill for some loads. Functional parts should be reviewed against force direction, mounting, and heat.

    This draft is for preparation and review; it is not an operating policy or final engineering recommendation.
