setting('layer_height', 0.1, float, 'basic', 'Quality').setRange(0.0001).setLabel('Layer height (mm)', 'Layer height in millimeters.\nThis is the most important setting to determen the quality of your print. Normal quality prints are 0.1mm, high quality is 0.06mm. You can go up to 0.25mm with an Ultimaker for very fast prints at low quality.')
-setting('wall_thickness', 0.8, float, 'basic', 'Quality').setRange(0.0001).setLabel('Wall thickness (mm)', 'Thickness of the walls.\nThis is used in combination with the nozzle size to define the number\nof perimeter lines and the thickness of those perimeter lines.')

setting('solid_layer_thickness', 0.6, float, 'basic', 'Fill').setRange(0).setLabel('Bottom/Top thickness (mm)', 'This controls the thickness of the bottom and top layers, the amount of solid layers put down is calculated by the layer thickness and this value.\nHaving this value a multiply of the layer thickness makes sense. And keep it near your wall thickness to make an evenly strong part.')

For a solid part use 100%, for an empty part use 0%. A value around 20% is usually enough.\nThis won\'t effect the outside of the print and only adjusts how strong the part becomes.')

#setting('enable_raft', False, bool, 'basic', 'Support').setLabel('Enable raft', 'A raft is a few layers of lines below the bottom of the object. It prevents warping. Full raft settings can be found in the expert settings.\nFor PLA this is usually not required. But if you print with ABS it is almost required.')
