Baseplate

Applies to 2023.0 Update and later

Parameter Description Notes
Offset

Determines the margin to generate the contour of the base plate. The margin is added to the shadow area of the part as well as to any contours of solid volume support structures at their termination on the build platform.

Height

Determines the thickness of the base plate.

Fill inner contour

If the shadow area and the area occupied by solid volume support produces fully enclosed areas, this switch determines whether they should also be covered by the base plate.

Note: Enclosed areas are only tested for before the margin is applied. This switch therefore ignores any areas that (would) become enclosed by overlapping offsets of neighboring shadow or support areas.
Pattern

Instead of being completely solid, the baseplate can be generated with a structured perforation. Choose from Rectangular and Hexagonal.

Cell size

The distance between parallel walls in a perforation, not counting the walls between perforations

Wall thickness

Thickness of the wall between adjacent perforations
