The best distance between the nozzle and hot bed is 0.1mm (thickness of A4 paper) as the first picture shows.

If the distance is not good, please adjust the level of the hot bed by turning the four wing nuts under the hot bed.

9. Warnings & Notice

 

Warnings

:

During the operation, the nozzle may reach a high temperature

of 250

, the platform is inclined to reach 100

. To ensure your safety and to avoid a fire or deformation of models, any touch with models, nozzle, or platform is prohibited.Please don't run the 3D printer when the machine is unattended. While operation, some material will produce a slight odor. Please use this device in a well-ventilated environment. In addition, when printing, please try to keep the printer away from the stream, which might influence the quality of your prints. Keep away from water or some flammable devices. Notice:ABS will give out a slight odor while printing.Please leave the 3D printer away from water, or water might damage the machine.

While printing, please don't cut off the power or pull out the SD card. This will cause loss of model data. When loading filament, nozzle tends to squeeze filament. Please make sure that

the nozzle is lifted above the printing platform by at least 50 mm. Otherwise nozzle might be clogged.

In process of maintenance,

remember to unplug the device.

The corresponding

Serial Port

comes out in Cura.

Slide32

Settings for

PLA

:

Cura Manual

Layer height (mm) should be 0.1~0.3 (less layer height, more accurate but takes more time).

Shell thickness (mm) should be bigger than nozzle diameter and will influence the

hardness (should be times of nozzle size).

Enable retraction: prevent snagging (material flow). Please decrease the minimum travel if it occurs stringing or oozing.

Fill: influence the hardness of the bottom (please use glue or tape for warp issue).

Bottom thickness: Adjust with layer height & nozzle diameter.

Fill Density (%): should be 20%~40%.

Speed and Temperature: PLA (190~220) .Print speed(mm/s): resolution less than 1 mm should be controlled below 20 mm/s.Support: everywhere+ raft (touch builder just suits for few structures). We have to clean the support after printing.

Slide33

Layer thickness: This might vary depending on the complexity of the part geometry. A thicker layer requires high desired saturation. Using a high saturation also leads to the same problem.

Material flow: This is the amount of binder released from the individual nozzle of the print head, and depends on the binder density. This gives an idea about desired saturation.

Speed: This also depends on the

material and structure

, and is very important for uniform spreading. Material with more corner requires a relatively slower spread speed, whereas relatively higher spread speed could be set for coarse particles. The distance between nozzle and plate when printing is quite important for the whole quality.

Note:

Slide34

Distance should be 3.5-4.5 and will influence the retraction.

Minimal layer time will be bigger than cooling time.

When printing PLA, click enable cooling fan.

Travel speed are suggested to be around 70 mm/s.

Infill speed should be 50-70 mm/s.

Outer shell speed should be 40 mm/s.

Slide35

Settings for

ABS

(240~260)

Cura Manual

Slide36

Note 1

Now while there are many thermoplastics, very few of them are currently used for 3D Printing. For a material to prove viable for 3D Printing, it has to pass three different tests:

initial extrusion into Plastic Filament

, second extrusion and

trace-binding during the 3D Printing process

, then finally end use application.

ABS - 

Its strength, flexibility, machinability, and higher temperature resistance make it often a preferred plastic for engineers, and professional applications. The hot plastic smell deter some as does the plastics petroleum based origin. The additional requirement of a heated print bed means there are some printers simply incapable of printing ABS with any reliability.

PLA - 

The wide range of available colors and translucencies and glossy feel often attract those who print for display or small household uses. Many appreciate the plant based origins and prefer the semi-sweet smell over ABS. When properly cooled, PLA seems to have higher maximum printing speeds, lower layer heights, and sharper printed corners. Combining this with low warping on parts make it a popular plastic for home printers, hobbyists, and schools.

Slide37

PLA

More brittle than ABS

Can droop if it gets too hot, for example, if it is left in a hot car in the summer time

Usually turns white along the high stress zone when it is bent, then breaks into lots of little pieces

Even though it is made from plants, it may contain dyes and binders which are not food safe

Smells sweet when it is being printed

Strength is relatively equal to ABS

ABS

Impact resistant and tough

Hard

GlossyPetroleum based

FlammableProne to cracking if cooled too quicklyUsually bends before it breaksHas a strong, toxic smell when it is being printedStrength is relatively equal to PLANote 2

Slide38

ABS requires higher temperatures to extrude than PLA. That often requires that you use a hot plate to print on so the part does not cool too fast as it is being printed.

PLA, on the other hand, frequently prints better if there is a fan blowing on the part to cool it down before it can droop.

ABS usually needs a fully up to temperature heat bed or the part may not work. PLA , on the other hand benefits from cool blowing air to keep its temperature down so it does not droop. But it can also benefit from a heated print bed.

Many people have had good results printing ABS, a form of Polyimide tape which is surprisingly expensive. But it usually lasts a long time. Some people find that PLA works great unheated on blue painters tape but the tape needs to be replaced fairly frequently.
