It refers to how the printer handles changes in direction during movement, particularly at corners and curves. Proper cornering settings can help reduce artifacts like ringing, ghosting, and overshooting, leading to cleaner and more precise prints.

+2. In the `Calibration` menu, under the `Flow Rate` section, select `YOLO (Recommended)`.
+3. A new project with eleven blocks will be created, each with a different flow rate modifier. Slice and print the project.
+ 
+4. Examine the printed blocks and identify the one with the best surface quality. Look for:
+ 1. The smoothest top surface.
+ 2. No visible gaps between the pattern arcs.
+ 3. Minimal or no visible line between the Inner Spiral and the Outer Arcs.
+ 
+ In this example, the block with a flow modifier of `+0.01` produced the best results, despite a visible line between the Inner Spiral and the Outer Arcs; reducing the flow further begins to show gaps between the lines.
+ 
+5. Update the flow ratio in the filament settings using the equation: `OldFlowRatio ± modifier`.
+ If your previous flow ratio was `0.98` and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of `+0.01`, the new value would be: `0.98 + 0.01 = 0.99`.
+ **Remember** to save the filament profile.

-- **Printer Calibration:** Step-by-step calibration tests in Orca Slicer, including how to interpret the results.
-- **Developer Section:** Information for developers and contributors on building Orca Slicer, localization, and developer resources.

+## Orca to Wiki Redirection
+
+OrcaSlicer can redirect users from the GUI to the appropriate wiki pages, making it easier to find relevant documentation.
+
+The option-to-wiki mapping is defined in [src/slic3r/GUI/Tab.cpp](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/blob/main/src/slic3r/GUI/Tab.cpp). Any option added with `append_single_option_line` can be mapped to a wiki page using a second string argument.
+
+```cpp
+optgroup->append_single_option_line("OPTION_NAME"); // Option without wiki page/redirection
+optgroup->append_single_option_line("OPTION_NAME", "WIKI_PAGE"); // Option with wiki page and redirection
+```
+
+You can also point to a specific section within a wiki page by appending a fragment identifier (for example `#section-name`).
+
+Example:
+
+```cpp
+optgroup->append_single_option_line("seam_gap","quality_settings_seam"); // Wiki page and redirection
+optgroup->append_single_option_line("seam_slope_type", "quality_settings_seam#scarf-joint-seam"); // Wiki page and redirection to `Scarf Joint Seam` section

-- If you see an encoding error (garbage characters instead of Unicode) somewhere in Orca Slicer, report it. It is likely not a problem of your translation, but a bug in the software.

If a wedge shape exceeds this angle, no extra center wall will be added. Lowering this value reduces center walls but may cause under- or over-extrusion in sharp corners.

-- Increasing the number of lines (e.g., 2 or 3) can improve part strength and print speed without increasing material usage.
-- Fire-retardant applications: Some flame-resistant materials (like PolyMax PC-FR) require a minimum printed wall/infill thickness—often 1.5–3 mm—to comply with standards. Since infill contributes to overall part thickness, using multiple lines helps achieve the necessary thickness without switching to a large nozzle or printing with 100% infill.

+# Patterns
+
+Patterns determine how material is distributed within a print. Different patterns can affect strength, flexibility and print speed using the same density setting.
+
+There is no one-size-fits-all solution, as the best pattern depends on the specific print and its requirements.
+
+Many patterns may look similar and have similar overall specifications, but they can behave very differently in practice.
+As most settings in 3D printing, experience is the best way to determine which pattern works best for your specific needs.
+

+
+These layers are printed over the [sparse infill](strength_settings_infill), so increasing **shell layers** will increase overall part strength and top surface quality.
+It's usually recommended to have at least 3 shell layers for most prints.
## Shell Thickness
-The number of solid layers is increased when slicing if the thickness calculated by shell layers is thinner than this value. This can avoid having too thin shell when layer height is small. 0 means that this setting is disabled and thickness of shell is absolutely determined by shell layers.

-Top solid infill area is enlarged slightly to overlap with wall for better bonding and to minimize the appearance of pinholes where the infill meets the walls. A value of 25-30% is a good starting point, minimizing the appearance of pinholes. The percentage value is relative to line width of sparse infill.

-- **[Concentric](strength_settings_infill#concentric):** Fills the surface with inward-tracing loops that follow the outer contour.
-- **[Rectilinear](strength_settings_infill#rectilinear):** Fills the surface with straight lines alternating direction per layer.
-- **Monotonic:** Prints lines in a uniform direction for a smoother visual surface.
-- **Monotonic Lines:** Similar to Monotonic but avoids overlapping with the perimeter, reducing excess material at joints. May introduce visible seams.
-- **[Aligned Rectilinear](strength_settings_infill#aligned-rectilinear):** The surface is printed with rectilinear lines that are aligned with the infill pattern.
-- **[Hilbert Curve](strength_settings_infill#hilbert-curve):** Applies a space-filling curve for even material distribution and a unique appearance. Slow to print but useful in esthetic applications.

## Alternate extra wall
This setting adds an extra wall to every other layer. This way the infill gets wedged vertically between the walls, resulting in stronger prints.
When this option is enabled, the ensure vertical shell thickness option needs to be disabled.
-Using lightning infill together with this option is not recommended as there is limited infill to anchor the extra perimeters to.

## Detect thin wall
-Detect thin wall which can't contain two line width. And use single line to print. Maybe printed not very well, because it's not closed loop.
+By default, walls are printed as closed loops. When a wall is too thin to contain two line widths, enabling "Detect thin walls" prints it as a single extrusion line.
+Thin walls printed this way may have reduced surface quality and strength because they are not closed loops.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Usually, it is recommended to use [Arachne wall generator](quality_settings_wall_generator#arachne) which will disable "Detect thin walls" because it uses a different approach to wall generation.
+
+- In small details it can generate details that wouldn't be possible with traditional wall generation methods.
+ 
+ 
+- In large prints, it can generate defects more easily due to the reduced wall thickness.

# Auxiliary Fan
-OrcaSlicer use `M106 P2` command to control auxiliary cooling fan.
+OrcaSlicer uses `M106 P#` / `M107 P#` to control any fans managed by the slicer.
-If you are using Klipper, you can define a `M106` macro to control the both normal part cooling fan and auxiliary fan and exhaust fan.
-Below is a reference configuration for Klipper.
+- `P0`: part cooling fan (default layer fan)
+- `P1` (if present): an additional fan
+- `P2`: often used as Aux / CPAP / Booster
+- `P3` (and higher): sometimes Exhaust / Enclosure, etc.
-> [!NOTE]
-> Don't forget to change the pin name to the actual pin name you are using in the configuration
+With Klipper you can create macros that translate both the OrcaSlicer numeric fan index `P` and **human‑readable names** for your physical fans. This keeps compatibility with generated G‑code (M106 P0 / M106 P2 …) while letting you address fans by name internally.

+
+1. Add / remove entries in `fan_map` to reflect the indexes the slicer may use.
+2. Keep comments like `# fan X OrcaSlicer` next to each `[fan_generic]` for easy correlation.
+3. Tune `max_power`, `off_below`, `cycle_time` according to fan type (CPAP blower vs axial exhaust).
+
+### Usage
+
+- From OrcaSlicer: `M106 P0 S255` (100% CPAP), `M106 P3 S128` (~50% EXHAUST).
+- Turn one off: `M107 P3`. Turn all off: `M107`.
+- You can still manually use `SET_FAN_SPEED FAN=CPAP SPEED=0.7` in the Klipper console.

+Pick the variant that best fits your workflow; the advanced version provides extra clarity and flexibility while remaining fully compatible with standard OrcaSlicer G-code output.
