What is layer adhesion?

Layer adhesion is the bond strength between adjacent layers of a print. Key for model strength. Poor adhesion causes delamination.

What affects it

  • Nozzle temperature - higher = better adhesion
  • Print speed - slower = better
  • Cooling - too much = weak bond

How to improve

Raise nozzle by 5-10 °C, reduce cooling (careful with PLA), annealing.
