Object Shell Thickness Object shell thickness is the outer wall thickness of a 3D printed part, influencing strength, surface finish, and print time. Thicker shells enhance durability and impact resistance, while thinner shells reduce material usage and weight. Shell thickness is adjusted in slicing software by setting the number of perimeter walls. Proper shell configuration prevents warping, layer separation, and under-extrusion. It is crucial for functional parts, load-bearing components, and watertight enclosures. Optimizing shell thickness balances strength, weight, and print efficiency. |
