Even the thickness of each layer is one of the parameters. The same object can be printed full, empty,
with 100 or 200 slices and more or less robust and stiff despite having all versions a similar appear-
ance.
Printing file
The G-Code files, containing instructions for navigating the various mechanical parts of the printer
according to specific parameters and settings has a limited compatibility between different print-
ers. While the STL file of the template can be used by anyone with a 3D printer to create a printing
G-Code, a G-Code files is definitely running for the printer for which it was created but could be unus-
able with other printers. If it is not clearly compatible with NG Sharebot there try to print files that
you find on the net because they may have malicious entries to your printer.
The file also contains the heated printing bed temperatures and those of the extruder, tying the file
not only to the printer but also to the material to be used. As we shall see in the following pages,
with the LCD Panel it is possible to modify some parameters when printing: Sharebot NG offers you
the possibility to edit the G-Code in order to adapt it to different materials without having to redo the
process of slicing.
