To use this feature, you need first to slice the model and preview it to know the exact areas where you don’t want the supports to appear. After that, click on the support blockers option in the bottom left section, as highlighted below. (Image credit: Tom's Hardware) You can then...
Even if you use one of the best 3D printers, design flaws can complicate printing and lead to print failure. Hence, inspecting and analyzing the file before you slice it or hit the print button to ensure no errors is always essential. Also, if you have 3D scans that you would like to...
position or adjust your model, slice, analyze the output, generate the gcode, and send it to your printer. That might sound a bit complex, but it’s straightforward, thanks to Orca Slicer’s fantastic UI. Here’s a breakdown.
You can even do this test live - if you slice for 100mm/sec then in the TUNE menu the % speed will match the speed in mm/sec and you can play with the speed in the TUNE menu without doing any math. Or you can slice at any speed you want and do the math to figure out what...
To create a PAR archive of a command line slic3r, execute pp -e -p -x slic3r.pl --xargs cube.stl -o slic3r.par and let the slic3r slice a cube.stl to load the dynamic modules. To create a PAR archive of a GUI slic3r, execute pp -e -p -x slic3r.pl --xargs --gui...
Getting ready to slice in the free Cura software. Christopher Allbritton I spent a month fiddling with every possible control in Cura, and there is no real “one button, one print” solution. In the beginning, this will be frustrating for newbies wanting to get in on 3D printing. You wil...
Check if theprint settingsare correct (the default ones usually work fine) andslicethe model. Exporta .GCODE file of the sliced object. Let’s call it ‘barcelona-airbnb-3dprint.gcode’. 4. 3D printing the map Hardware:Prusa i3, or other 3D printer ...
The extruder & hot end on the stock X-Max is a critically flawed design.Several people, contributed to a solution that allows alternate extruders including an E3D V6, a Slice Engineering Copperhead or Mosquito, a Trianglelab Dragon, and probably many others. The extruder and hot end change fi...
