Fillets & Chamfers

Fillets

Fillet is the rounding of a corner. Fillets in the X-Y plane can improve print quality as it is not slowing down to a sharp corner. Adding fillets at the base of your walls can support and strengthen supported or free standing wall in your design.

Chamfers

Chamfers are a 45° cut of corners. Like fillets, they break up sharp corners and can potentially improve print quality. When used correctly, chamfers can be used to reduce bridging distances and even combat elephant foot warping on the first layer.
