When you're a beginner it's very difficult to navigate the 3D printing settings. Unfortunately, even the description does not always give an understanding of what exactly you are setting up and pictures can help in this case. I suggest to add explanatory pictures in pop-up windows with hints. I made a sketch of how it could look like (I got the setting image a little wrong, but I think the point is clear): 1

Pictures illustrating the effects of settings are often part of the online documentation (e.g. Overhang threshold). I prefer to have compact tool tips and and more details (including pictures) in the documentation.
