I don't think it's important to specify the target audience's required knowledge or level.

I often start to read article outside of my knowledge/competences and yes, often stop because I'm lost in terminology and don't want to read further.

But, it also happens that I want to know more and discover what specialists consider "basic knowledge".

This is the exact pattern that made me want to read your text. I knew vase mode existed but never cared for it because it's outside of my requirements for 3d printing.

Now I know and you explained it perfectly!
