5. Basic Parameter Setting of Slicing:
⑴
Quality
Layer height: it is usually set as 0.2,
Setting range: 0.1-0.3. The lower the
value is, the printing is smoother and the
corresponding printing time is longer.
Shell thickness: it is usually set as
integral multiple of nozzle aperture. The
common value is 0.8.
Enable retraction: when retraction is
enabled, the nozzle rolls back filament
automatically and improves the filament
drawing.
⑵
Fill
Bottom/top thickness: the thickness of
top layer and bottom layer for the model
is usually 1.2mm.
Fill density: the fill density of the model
is 10%, if the intensity is not required to
be high. The higher the value is, the
higher the intensity is, and the longer the
corresponding printing time is.
⑶
Speed and temperature
Print speed: it is the default overall
speed and usually set as 60. Too high
speed results in bad effect of model
formation.
Printing temperature: nozzle temperature. Usually PLA consumable is set as 200. It
depends on the physical property of printing consumables.
Thermal bed temperature: refers to the temperature of printing platform. The machine
doesn’t support platform heating, so the parameter is invalid.
⑷
Support
Support type: three options:
①
None;
②
Touching build-plate;
③
Everywhere;
usually select
②
, establish support according to the demand.
Platform adhesion type: three options:
①
None;
②
Brim;
③
Raft. Usually select
②
,
Option
②
and
③
makes the base layer of model adhere to printing platform better,
Brim can solve edge warping problem effectively. however, when the bottom surface
is big, it increase the difficulty of taking out the model. When Raft can make model
on the print plate easier to take out, but the bottom surface of model is not smooth,
user can select correspondingly.
⑸
Filament
Diameter: the diameter of filament for nozzle is 1.75mm.
