Depends on the material. On the nylon composite material we use .005" or .006".
On the Duraform material we use .004" or .005". For the Copper-PA we use either
.003" or .004", and finally for the LR2 metals we use .003".

For the plastic materials it depends upon part cross section complexity on which
layer thickness to use.
