The macrolayer height is the height of a layer package which contains microlayers. The microlayer is the layer which contains one or more print entities with the same height. The macrolayer contains microlayers and its structure is defined by microlayer heights. For example, macrolayer height = 0.6mm, external shell height = 0.2mm, plastic perimeters height = 0.3mm, fiber layer height is always equal to macrolayer height and now it is 0.6mm. Accordinally, in this macrolayer we have 4 microlayers. First on 0.2mm and it has only external shell for printing. Second on 0.3mm and it has only plastic perimeters. Third on 0.4mm and it has only external shell. And the last one on 0.6mm and it has external shell, plastic perimeters and fiber perimeters.

The generate wipe tower flag is the flag which indicates that the Aura will generate wipe tower for parts. The wipe tower is a service part that is being printed at the same time as main parts. The wipe tower is used to clean nozzles on tool change.

The generate support flag is the flag which indicates that the Aura will generate supports for parts. The support is used to prevent the fall of overhanging parts.

The generate skirt is the flag which indicates that the Aura will generate skirts for parts. The skirt is the extended contour of a part on a first layer. Use skirt to stabilize plastic flow in extruder before main printing.

The generate brim flag is the flag which indicates that the Aura will generate brims for parts. The brim is the extended contour of a part on a first layer. Use brim to prevent part stick-off from table surface during printing process.

The top/bottom solid layers count is the number of layers in which solid infill will be generated. The solid infill will be generated in special spots – where a layer contacts with external environment.

The fill density percent is the percent of filled space inside the shell.

The plastic perimeters count inside fiber is the number of perimeters between fiber and cellular infill.

The plastic perimeters count outside fiber is the number of perimeters between external shell and fiber perimeters.

The inner reinforced perimeters count is the number of perimeters which will reinforce inner holes (not surface) of a part.
