At the uOttawa Makerspace we have several different types (brands) of printers. When printing you will encounter either the Ultimaker, MakerBot, or Dremel. In general, the processes are similar.

===Adhesion===
 
You'll notice that this box is checked by default. In the context of the "Recommended Settings" window on Cura, "Adhesion" refers to an outer thin "brim" of plastic printed around the model (there are different types of adhesion, which will be explained in-depth in the advanced article). This brim is to ensure that the part stays in place during the printing process. The brim of plastic should peel off very easily, so it is extremely beneficial and there are almost no downsides to having this setting enabled. <u>As a beginner, we recommend that you keep this box checked.</u>
