<strong>Step 25:</strong> Configuring your print settings for a 3D print is often a mix of objective and subjective decisions. Using the "right" print settings can make a big difference in the final quality of your part. Certain print settings may make the part fail entirely. The print settings used in this tutorial work for the 3D printed egg shaker, but they may or may not fall into the category of "general best practices for 3D printing." Disclaimers aside... In the right column, use the three drop-down menus to select: 0.15mm QUALITY and Prusa PLA. Select the correct printer (MK4 or MK4S) based on which printers are available. In the Supports drop-down menu, select Support on build plate only and allow PrusaSlicer to enable the Detect bridging perimeters feature. Set the Infill to 15% and check the Brim box.

Click on the Support Material menu. Notice that the majority of the options are locked, to access them you need to click on the Generate Support Material box. That allows for selection of support styles and specifications. In most cases you will want to use Organic supports, however there are times when Grid Supports or Snug Supports would be better for your part, but when in doubt, use Organic.
