====Layer Height====
Layer heights are generally changed to increase printing speed. A larger layer height means a faster print as the printer can print less layers to achieve the final height. However, increasing layer height will decrease the resolution and quality of the print. Therefore, increasing layer height should only be done on larger prints without fine details. It is recommended to keep the layer height between 25%-75% of the nozzle diameter and a 50% nozzle diameter is generally what is used as the layer height. If the layer height is too low, it can result in the plastic being pushed back into the nozzle creating a blockage. If the layer height is too high, it can be difficult for the layers to stick to each other.
