generate your Gcode based on your current settings each time you click the “Build” button. Use this once
you’ve dialed in your Print-O-Matic settings.
Print-O-Matic
These are the default values for the Stepstruder MK7.
“Object Infill (%)” can be used to make your print more dense or more hollow. A value of 0% will result in
an empty or hollow print. 100% will be completely full or solid print.
“Layer Height” should be between .27 and .33 mm. Feel free to experiment!
“Number of Shells” can be used to make the perimeter of your object thicker. Every model has one perimeter
thickness. If you have (1) Shell, you will be adding another perimeter to the wall thickness. (2) shells will
make your perimeter 3 thicknesses wide. These will add up toward the center of the object, making the outer
most perimeter the same as when it was modelled.
Tip: if you see empty spaces in parts of your print that have small details, try setting shells to 0.
“Feedrate” is the speed the bot moves while extruding plastic. 30 mm/s is a good place to start, but you
might find that you get the best results at a slightly higher or lower speed.
Under “Plastic,” make sure the “Filament Diameter” value is between 1.75mm and 1.8mm.
