== Introduction ==

[[Easy Strategy]] is a [[Manual/SlicerSystem/Strategies|Strategy]] especially aiming the intermediate users. By only specifying few of the most important printing properties you can have influence on a great deal of printing parameters under the hood. A basic FDM printing knowledge is enough a fairly wide and flexible control over the slicing process.

== Layer Thickness Range ==

You can define the Layer Thickness Range relative (in percentages) to the actual used nozzle's diameter. This way you can receive good results regardless the used extruder/nozzle, and also in case of multiple different diameter extruders.

By defining a range the CraftWare Pro's ''Adaptive Layer Thickness'' algorithm allowed to analyse the geometry of the printed model and calculate the most optimal Layer thickness for every height. This way you can reduce the need of supports, save printing time, and increase quality locally where it's needed.

If you don't want to profit from the Adaptive Layer Thickness algorithm, you can set the minimum and maximum value to the same, and force the slicer to use a constant layer thickness of your choice.

== Wall thickness ==

By specifying the wall thickness, the [[Easy Strategy]] calculates the proper amount of loops, and shell layers, taking into account the variable layer thickness and the potential nozzle diameter changes too.

== Infill Density ==

As the CraftWare Pro utilizes an adaptive infill subdivision algorithm, the ''Infill Density'' is specified with a range. The infill density is modulated between these two values. Using the higher infill density near the perimeter and the lower values in the centre of the object, if it is possible.

== Speed ==

There are a lot of factors taken into account when the drawing speeds are calculated (printer's/extruder's capabilities, filament needs/properties, etc.) and a lot of different drawing speeds are used during the whole print (different segment types, different heights, etc). To reduce the complexity of this section, the Printing Speed is given relative to the default value. This way you can have influence on every speed value by providing only one input. 

== Adhesion ==

You can select a build plate adhesion for the print:
* None
* Skirt
* Brim
* Raft

It will be generated with the default parameters.

Please note that the filament can require, and specify a particular build plate adhesion, and it will override the Adhesion type specified in the Strategy.

== Ironing ==

Ironing is a feature that moves the nozzle slowly over the visible top layers trying to reduce the printing artefacts there. It is a time consuming feature and the results, so you can turn it on or off depending on your preferences.

== Spiral Vase ==

Spiral Vase Mode is a special printing feature when the objects outer wall is printed with a continuous extrusion in a helical path. It is useful on special objects.

== Generate Support ==

If you are interested in what parameters are generated by a particular set of requirements, you can turn on the Strategy Summary.
