Interlocking beam width

How wide the interlocking beams are. Thin ones break; wide ones show when they reach the surface.

How it works

Each beam is a small block of one material that goes into the other. At 0.8 mm (two line widths) it holds well without bulking up.

Wider gives a stronger bond, but more visible teeth.

When to change it

  • To start: 0.8 mm (default).
  • The TPU-on-PLA wheel still comes apart: 1.2 mm.
  • Small parts or fine details, where the border is narrow: 0.5 mm.
