Slicing Software (8) Support Settings When the model has obvious suspended parts or overhang, it needs to add support to minimize the printing failure. Click on the model and then click support tab to edit the support for the model. a Lo Before adding support, you can edit the shape of the support. There are three types of support, Light, Medium and Heavy.
Slicing Software Step 1: Shape editing Click on one of these types, such as Medium. As shown below, the support is divided into three parts, namely "top", "middle" and "bottom". The settings of those three parts are described in detail below. . ¥ Scene Click to refresh to preset parameters Top: Set the parameters for the top of the support. Contact Shape: Select the "Sphere" as the contact point between the top and the model can increase the contact area between the support and the model.
Slicing Software Contact depth: The contact depth between the support top and the model. | 4 The observation line for contact depth Contact Diameter: The contact diameter is valid when the contact shapes "Sphere". Shape: There are two options forth top shape, “Cone” and “Pyramid”.
Slicing Software Diameter: You can input Humberto change the top diameter. 1.00mm 2.00mm Length: You can input number to change the top length. Angle: Use the default parameter. ®@ Mid: Set the parameters of the mid of the support.
Slicing Software Shape: There are three options for the mid shape, "Cube”, “Cylinder” and “Prism”. ube Cylinder Prism Diameter: You can input Humberto change the mid diameter. 1.00mm pi (® Bottom: Set the parameters on the bottom of the support.
Slicing Software Shape: There are four options for the top shape, “Skate”, “Cube”, “Cylinder” and “Prism”. Cube = Cylinder Prism Length: You can input number to change the bottom length. Mle ed Contact Depth: The depth of contact between the bottom of the support and the model when the supports added inside the model. Angle: Use the default parameter.
Slicing Software @ Raft In addition to the three types of supports set by software, raft can be added to the model. Adding raft will increase the adhesion between model and build platform, thereby minimizing the print failure or warping risk. Select the shape of the raft as "Skate" and click "Fill" or “Platform” to add the raft and support. Be 0 Note: Before adding the raft, you need to lift the model up by a certain height in the z-axis direction.
Slicing Software @® Manual Support Add: Only after click the "Add" button then can you add the support to the model. contour line, can be used as reference line when you are adding support When the mouse moves on the model, the green short line can be clicked to add support; the red short line means it cannot be clicked to add support Delete: Click the "Delete" button and then click the support on the model and click "Delete" button to remove the support.
Slicing Software ®@ Automatic Support After setting "Auto Support Angle", "Support Min Length" and "Support Density”, click "Fill" or “Platform” can automatically add supports for the model. Click to refresh to the preset parameters La Auto Support Angle: The tangent angle between the model (small triangular facets) and the printing platform. With the same “Support Density" , the larger “Auto Support Angle” is, the more supports can be added.
Slicing Software Support Min Length: Use the default parameter. There are two types of supports added automatically, "Vertical" and "Tree". Choosing the "Tree" type, the supports can be combined and interlocked. It simplifies the supports and saves material. After setting each parameter, click the "Fill" or "Platform" button to automatically add support. ® "Fill": The support can be added between the platform and the model, and between the model and the model.
Slicing Software ® Automatic support adding skills (improve print success rate) Tip 1: Properly increasing the support angle and density can optimize the support results and deliver better print quality. When browsing on the model, by observing the contour circle, it can be found that the model still has some weak points that have not been added supports properly (highlighted by red arrows).
Slicing Software (9) Parameter Settings @ Slice Settings The default printing mode is “Configuration Mode”. In this mode, you can directly select the corresponding resin and the preferable factor. The software will set the parameters automatically. Li ce You can click “Configure”— “Print Mode"— “Normal Mode" in the menu to switch the Configuration Mode to Normal Mode.In the slice settings, four resin types are "Plant-based", "Dental Ca stable" and "Custom".
Slicing Software : You can always modify the parameters. And, you can add custom resin type. Click "Configure" — "Resin Manage".

Upon finished, click the upper left corner to save as a new sliced file. wo La Note: 1. This function is invalid for the bottom layers. Do not use this function to bottom layers. 2.
Slicing Software Other Information: You can check the total volume and resin cost of the model. Ses cr ¥ Machine toting: Ls Wore (1M) R_E RF is an abbreviation for “Resin Exposure Range Finder”. This function is used to find out the optimal exposure parameters for different resins. Import the file into the slicing software (The file has been saved into the memory stick). Specifically, in the R_ E_R_F mode, the curing screen will be divided into eight areas and each area is numbered, as shown in the picture.
Slicing Software ® The exposure time for Area No.1 is equal to "normal exposure time (s)" in the slicing settings (exclude Bottom Exposure Time), and the exposure time for other areas will be increased by an increment of "1s" subsequently. ® For example, when "Normal Exposure Time (s)" is set to 3s in the slicer, the exposure time for Area No.1 is 3s, the exposure time for Area No.2 will be 4s, and so on, and the exposure time of Area 8 will be 10s. ® You can modify the exposure time of Area No.
FAQ and Machine Maintenance 1. FAQ (1) Model not sticking to platform >» Bottom exposure time is insufficient, increase the exposure time. » Contact area between the model and platform is small, please add raft. >» Bad leveling (2) Layer separation or splitting » The machine is not stable during printing >» FEP film in the vats not tight enough or it need a change for new one » The printing platform or vat is not tightened 2.
FAQ and Machine Maintenance (3) Be careful when remove the platform, do not let it fall onto the curing screen. — (4) Do not left the resin in the vat for | over two days if do not use it. Please filter and store the resin properly.
