The height is the size of build area along the Z axis.

The length is the size of build area along the Y axis.

The width is the size of build area along the X axis.

Linear density is the mass of 1km of fiber in grams.

The do plastic retract flag is the flag which indicates that plastic retract should be performed during composite printing.

Finish ironing distance is the length of travel which is performed by a composite nozzle at the end of fiber polygon in the direction of last segment. It happens after cut and full exit a of fiber tail. This movement is needed for ironing tail which, if not done, will be fluffy.

Restart pause is the delay before start of composite polygon printing. This is needed for the good adhesion between a fiber tail and an a underlying layer.

Fiber extrusion speed is the speed of the fiber tail extrusion.

Z-lift on restart is the height at which a composite extruder is raised to put out a fiber tail and start to print a composite polygon.

The plastic flow multiplier is a factor by which amount of extruded plastic in a composite extruder is multiplied. Vary this parameter if all composite polygons have under- or overextrusion.
