Initial Layer Speed

The initial layer speed setting in a 3D printer slicer determines the speed at which the printer's extruder moves while laying down the first layer of the print. This setting is crucial because the first layer serves as the foundation for the entire print, affecting adhesion to the build platform and overall print quality.

Recommended values: It is recommended to set the initial layer speed to a lower value than the rest of the print, typically around 20-30 mm/s, to ensure good adhesion and a solid foundation for the print.
