The first step is modelling, using 3D drawing software such as AutoCAD, 3Dsmax,
Solidworks, etc., which can be output or converted to STL format.
Then add the model in STL format to the slicing software, place the model reasonably in
the centre of the printer plate from the preview, and set the print setting, and the
following recommendation as follow:
Layer height: for different qualities that will impact the time duration, the standard
print quality is 0.2mm preferred.
Infill: Infill with density (10-15%) and pattern usually use cubic.
Material: Printing temperature (200℃) and build plate temperature (60℃).
Print speed: Most use 40-70mm/s.
Support: The software will automatically add support from the overhang angle
setting.
Build plate adhesion: best use raft type.
After the print setting, estimate the time it will take by software, and reject the set to a
suitable time, and we can preview the whole printing process in the software.
Finally, insert the slice model into the printer via SD card. Then navigate to the first layer
calibration and adjust the z axial to make the test pattern stick on the plate uniformly.
And use alcohol clean and start printing! And make sure someone is still around to
supervise it. After the model print, we need to polish and assemble the parts to form a
finished product.
