Draft Shield A draft shield is a protective barrier printed around a model to shield it from environmental factors, such as drafts or sudden temperature changes, which can lead to warping or layer delamination. The shield typically surrounds the entire model but does not touch it, serving as a buffer to stabilize the surrounding temperature and airflow during the print process. Draft shields are especially useful for materials like ABS or nylon, which are sensitive to cooling inconsistencies. Many slicers include settings to enable draft shields, allowing users to customize their size and thickness. This feature is particularly beneficial for tall or intricate models that need additional thermal stability to ensure layer adhesion and dimensional accuracy.
